Obama Academy PTSA Seeking Donations for Maker Space
by Megan Spak 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hi neighbors - A few months ago, I shared a press release about a Google grant that was awarded to the Pgh Obama Academy PTSA for the creation of a maker space and digital science lab in the school (right down the street, on Highland Avenue). I’m excited to report that the maker space will be up and running for this school year, offering a whole new level of innovation to the education that the amazing teachers & staff at Obama are providing their students. I’m reaching out to the HP community because there are still some items that need to be purchased for the space, so we’re seeking donations via a DonorsChoose campaign as well as an Amazon wishlist. If anyone on the list is interested in making a donation to help the school out, I know that the school, the students, and the PTSA would be incredibly grateful! Here are the links to both: • Amazon wishlist - http://a.co/aAROttU <http://a.co/aAROttU> • Donors Choose page for The Innovation Classroom: Thinking Differently https://www.donorschoose.org/project/the-innovation-classroom-thinking-diff… <https://www.donorschoose.org/project/the-innovation-classroom-thinking-diff…> (Today, entering code GATES at checkout will also get a match up to $40). Thanks so much! Megan Spak

High lead levels in our water
by Joy 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Our lead results came back from the city, and they are *high*. (Over 16; they didn't say how much over, which is disconcerting, to say the least.) FYI we are on Heberton street. What have neighbors done to fix their water? replacing the line is not an option for us. thanks for any help. Joy

Olivetti typewriter
by Susan Ryan 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

This is indeed, a long-shot. A friend has an old electric typewriter, an Olivetti ET 111 (she is retired and used it for years and still loves it and isn't computer friendly). Recently the T types an E (or vice-versa) and after searching trouble-shooting sites for her, I have found no explanation. I don't know much about electric typewriters and so the lingo is as confusing to be as computer-eze is to others not up to date. Is there anyone who might have a solution that I can pass on to her? Many thanks. --
