Energy Grid Of The Future; Health As Focus Of Community Development; Social And Emotional Learning

The way we generate and deliver power will continue to evolve, and so will the power grid we rely on. The infrastructure will evolve. What about the engineers of tomorrow? To prepare students for the future of power and the smarter, digital grid, Case Western Reserve University and industrial manufacturer Siemens announced a partnership in Cleveland to turn the campus into a learning lab.  Later, the community development folks in Old Brooklyn turn their focus to the health of the neighborhood's residents. Plus,  we'll meet a Sandy Hook mother who believes social and emotional learning is the solution to the kind of violence that killed her son.
