San Bernardino City Unified School District Broadens Collaboration With Discovery Education To Advance STEAM Learning for All Students

CHARLOTTE, N.C., November 3, 2025 /3BL/ – California’s San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) today announced it has broadened its collaboration with Discovery Education to advance STEAM education across the district. Through this expanded partnership the district has doubled the number of schools using a suite of innovative digital tools that engage students and drive academic achievement. Discovery Education is the maker of essential PreK-12 learning solutions used in classrooms around the world.

Located in the heart of San Bernardino, California, SBCUSD provides a comprehensive education through a diverse array of academic programs and innovative learning pathways serving nearly 50,000 students. Guided by a commitment to equity, safety, and collaboration, SBCUSD’s dedicated educators foster an inclusive environment where every student is encouraged to discover their unique strengths and pursue excellence. The district’s family-centered approach and strong community partnerships empower students to thrive academically and socially, nurturing responsible citizenship and lifelong learning. Through its Vision 2030 initiative, SBCUSD celebrates cultural diversity and invests in creative, resilient teaching practices that prepare students to succeed in school, career, and life.

To support the principles of the Vision 2030 initiative and prepare district students for success beyond graduation, SBCUSD has created a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) program. SBCUSD’s STEAM program fosters problem solving, inquiry, creativity, and innovation in order to prepare students for both college and career.

To support SBCUSD’s STEAM program, district leaders sought additional digital resources that would engage students in interdisciplinary STEAM learning in new and innovative ways. Following a review of potential solutions, the district moved to integrate Discovery Education Experience into 11 additional schools, bringing the total number of schools in the district using this resource to 21.

The essential companion for engaged classrooms, Discovery Education Experience is a supplemental cross-curricular digital resource that inspires teachers, motivates students, and supports instruction in all academic disciplines. Designed expressly for K-12 schools, Experience delivers all-in-one, ready-to-teach lessons and strategies, exciting career exploration resources, standards-aligned content, and flexible tools for differentiation and assessment. Earlier this year, Discovery Education announced a host of new enhancements to Discovery Education Experience that includes new tools and resources, AI technology, additional career explorations, and more.

Discovery Education Experience will be used alongside two other Discovery Education solutions already used in classrooms across the district: Discovery Education Science Techbook and Mystery Science.

“It’s critical for us to offer students engaging STEAM lessons that connect classroom instruction to the real world and that build the critical skills needed for future success” said Caitlin Arakawa, STEAM Program Specialist at SBCUSD. “We are excited to deepen our partnership with Discovery Education and bring these powerful tools to more classrooms across the district.”

SBCUSD educators using the new solutions from Discovery Education will receive dedicated professional development from the company’s team of professional learning experts. These learning opportunities for teachers help schools recognize the full return on their edtech investment. Through Discovery Education’s interactive professional development sessions, participants will learn best practices for integrating their new digital resources into instruction. Effective professional learning increases student engagement and supports the continued academic development of all students.

In addition, all educators using Discovery Education’s digital resources have access to the Discovery Educator Network or DEN. A global community of education professionals, the DEN connects members across school systems and around the world through social media, virtual conferences, and in-person events, fostering valuable idea sharing and inspiration. Recently, the DEN celebrated 20 years of connecting educators to their most valuable resource: each other. Educators interested in learning more about this powerful professional learning community and joining the DEN can learn more here.

“Discovery Education is proud to support San Bernardino City Unified School District’s work to create a world-class STEAM program,” said Rachel Merten, Discovery Education Account Executive. “The expansion of this long-term partnership will help scale the tremendous work already underway.”

Making the Grade on Healthy Indoor Air

by Liz Peters

In the recent IWBI webcast, From Classrooms to Communities: The Future of Healthy Indoor Air Policy and Advocacy, experts and innovators came together to explore how indoor air quality policy, technology and advocacy are reshaping the built environment, with a focus on the schools, a priority sector for driving action.

“What started as a weekend project spun completely out of control. Eleven years later, here we are.” – Liam Bates, CEO, Co-Founder, Kaiterra, explaining how and why he founded his company, Kaiterra, as a passion project focused on helping people breathe healthier indoor air.

“COVID forced people to understand that the places where we live, work, learn and play isn’t just a tagline–it’s vital for survival and human health.” – Jennifer Berthelot-Jelovic, Client Development Director, BranchPattern, underscoring a paradigm shift in how we think about health and well-being inside our buildings, where research shows people spend 90% of their lives.

“We can get a little more shoulder behind [modernizing our schools] and make sure we don’t miss a generation.” – Mary Filardo, Executive Director, 21st Century School Fund, emphasizing the urgency to make progress across our nation’s school facilities.

“The kids should be more important than screwing your outdoor air shut. We’ve got to figure out how to do better.” – Glenn Wilson, Applied Air Business Development Manager, Daikin Applied, illustrating that some school facilities are not optimizing for health when they should be.

Moderated by Jason Hartke, IWBI’s EVP of External Affairs and Global Advocacy, the session explored how advocacy, policy and technology are converging to make healthy air a reality–from schools to workplaces to community spaces. From cutting-edge IAQ data tools to policies driving investment in healthier learning environments, the discussion highlighted how schools can lead the way–and how public-private collaboration is spreading those benefits into workplaces and communities everywhere.

From personal passion to public impact
For Jennifer Berthelot-Jelovic of BranchPattern, the conversation starts at home. As a mother and longtime sustainability consultant, she’s seen firsthand how awareness can spark action. “When my teenage son turned on the exhaust fan above our gas stove after attending the WELL Healthy Homes Summit,” she shared, “I realized education is everything. We need to bring that same awareness into our schools.”

Standing shoulder to shoulder for schools
Mary Filardo, who founded the 21st Century School Fund more than 30 years ago, reminded everyone that America’s schools are massive and underfunded–and that our policy at all levels of government must match that reality. “Every community makes decisions about the conditions in their schools,” she said. “With the civic, education and industry sectors working together, we can get a little more shoulder behind this and make sure we don’t miss a generation.”

Filardo, the lead author of the next State of Our Schools report, which will be released later this year, shared that the annual gap in school infrastructure investment continues to grow at an alarming rate. She emphasized that while the challenge is seeming more insurmountable, there are significant opportunities to drive proven solutions, saying, “If we were doing [facility spending] smarter, holistically, the gap wouldn’t be so big.”

Innovation with heart
For Liam Bates of Kaiterra, the path to advocacy began with a personal story. When his now-wife’s asthma flared in a polluted city, he wanted to know what was in the air, but he couldn’t find any affordable or accessible ways to measure it. “I took on a small weekend project that spun completely out of control,” he laughed. “Eleven years later, we’re helping people make the invisible visible.”

As a call to action he urged stakeholders to do something, even if they can’t do everything, a great start being measuring. “Imagine if every school in the country had just one [indoor] air quality data point,” he said. “You’d immediately see which buildings are in crisis and which fixes cost nothing at all.”

Doing better by design
Glenn Wilson from Daikin Applied brought a technician’s perspective—and a dose of urgency. “I can’t count how many times I’ve been on a school roof and seen the fresh air dampers screwed shut,” he said, a cost-saving action that compromises proper ventilation by reducing the amount of outdoor air into the building. “Kids should be more important than saving a few dollars. We’ve got to figure out how to do better.”

The path ahead
The conversation returned time and time to the theme that our school facilities, and more importantly, the children, teachers and administrators inside them, are too important to continue to underfund our school infrastructure. To move forward and spark action, the panel called for smarter policy, more creative and scalable funding and cross-sector collaboration.

As Hartke summarized, “We’ve spent decades investing [billions] in energy efficiency. It’s time we invest in health with the same intensity.”

MetLife: Cultivating a Purpose-Driven and Inclusive Culture

We strive to enable colleagues at all levels to lead with purpose, collaborate effectively and drive impactful outcomes. We cultivate a purpose-driven and inclusive culture that serves as a driving force for meeting our business objectives.

Engaging Our Colleagues

MetLife continues to adopt practices and programs that drive a consistent employee experience, creating connection and engagement. 

MOMENTUM is MetLife’s global community of employee-driven networks organized and operating under one umbrella focused on cultivating a great place to work for our employees, everywhere we operate. Led by employee volunteers, the networks are voluntary and open to all employees. 

MOMENTUM actively engages our colleagues in career development and community outreach. Our networks sponsor events and learning opportunities that highlight career paths and tools available at MetLife, enabling everyone to thrive. By aligning and amplifying our MOMENTUM networks, community ambassadors— office-based volunteers—actively foster and strengthen community interconnectivity. 

Innovation thrives in an inclusive culture, where people feel confident about sharing their ideas. MetLife’s global Experimentation Fund gives colleagues the chance to submit ideas to receive funding for low-cost, quick experiments. In addition, we empower colleagues to challenge the status quo and identify opportunities to improve processes—to “remove pebbles.” Since the “removing pebbles” program’s inception in July 2023, the initiative has saved 1.7 million hours

Listening to Our Colleagues

Listening to colleagues, gaining their perspective on how we are working together and recognizing them when they advance our purpose are essential to nurturing our purpose-driven, inclusive culture. Colleagues provide feedback on our work practices through surveys, Let’s Talk, Live! forums (monthly, CEO-led, global town halls) and virtual and in-person listening sessions with leaders.

The MyVoice survey is part of our Company-wide annual listening program, dedicated to fostering a culture where every colleague’s voice is heard and valued. Sharing and actioning results is a collaborative and inclusive effort—our CEO shares enterprise-wide results at Let’s Talk, Live!, leaders review feedback with their teams, and we engage MyVoice action committees throughout the organization to help identify opportunities and to implement solutions to improve the employee experience. Insights are leveraged to establish enterprise focus areas and help us move forward together.

The 2024 MyVoice surveys had record-high engagement and strong results overall. We improved or maintained year-over-year scores across all survey questions and exceeded industry benchmarks where measured. Areas where employees said MetLife is doing well include culture, balance and flexibility, well-being, learning and development.

Recognizing Our Colleagues

The Global Recognition program at MetLife honors the commitment and outstanding performance of our employees. It exemplifies our culture in action by recognizing employees for their contributions toward fulfilling our purpose. Throughout the year, we recognize employees through multiple global channels, including:

  • Purpose Award, which recognizes individuals or teams who made extraordinary efforts to bring MetLife’s purpose to life and deliver for our stakeholders;
  • Above and Beyond Award, which recognizes colleagues for their collaboration, experimentation and customer-focused achievements; and
  • Center Stage, a platform for sharing continuous recognition, such as anniversaries, milestones and successes.

Corporate events and seminar segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period

By type, the corporate events and seminar segment held the major share of the market share in 2023, accounting for more than one-fourth of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Corporate events and seminars are organized to create a learning-by-doing atmosphere through experiments, discussions, and interactions among participants. They comprise various types of gatherings, such as conventions, symposia, congresses, incentive group events, marketing events, special celebrations, seminars, courses, public or trade shows, product launches, exhibitions, company general meetings, corporate retreats, study tours, or training programs.

Sponsorship segment to retain its dominance by 2035

By revenue source, the sponsorship segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global event industry market, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Sponsorship plays a crucial role in effective marketing due to its ability to enhance event programs and offset increasing expenses. It serves as a potent complement to other marketing initiatives, as it effectively delivers messages to the target audience and helps to build brand awareness. Thus, by sponsoring events, businesses can expand their reach to potential buyers and customers, ultimately driving sales.

Entertainment segment to retain its dominance by 2035

By organizer, the entertainment segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than one-fourth of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The entertainment industry comprises club festivals that feature music conferences and international music professionals. These conferences bring together performing artists and speakers from around the globe to network and share ideas. The lineup of speakers includes entrepreneurs, artists, producers, and industry leaders. These events primarily aim to innovate, educate, and inspire professionals in the electronic music field and foster discussions on new technologies and social & environmental responsibility.

21 to 40 Years segment to retain its dominance by 2035

By age group, the 21 to 40 Years segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The significant growth of this market, especially among individuals aged between 21 and 40 years, can be attributed to their enthusiastic engagement in diverse events, including exhibitions, conferences, seminars, and music concerts. This age group actively participates in various gatherings and shows, contributing to the overall market expansion. In addition, there is a rising interest in entrepreneur and business-focused seminars and conferences, where young individuals who seek to establish their own ventures can gain valuable guidance and insights.

By origin of attendees, the national segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than three-fifths of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Local events tend to draw attendees from within the host country due to the ease of travel, reduced costs, and the relevance of the event to domestic industries or communities. Public initiatives and regional gatherings focused on national topics generally draw an audience from within the country.

Tier 1 cities segment to retain its dominance by 2035

By event location, the tier 1 cities segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than half of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Tier 1 cities are driven by their world-class infrastructure, international airport hubs, and established reputation as business and cultural centers. These cities typically have a high concentration of multinational corporations, major conference venues, five-star hotels, and advanced transportation systems, making them prime locations for international and large-scale events. Global connectivity through direct flights, along with a well-developed tourism industry, ensures high attendance.

Europe to maintain its dominance by 2035

By region, Europe held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023, accounting for nearly one-third of the global event industry market. Germany and Spain are expected to experience the highest increase in activity, with various types of meetings witnessing growth in both numbers and attendees. Companies in the region have become more prudent with their spending, which thus leads to a demand for events within closer proximity and at mid-scale venues such as conferences, seminars, and festivals. Europe has been successful in attracting international association conferences, with over half of the top destinations for such conferences located in the region. The events industry in Europe experiences further growth due to increase in the adoption of smart devices and internet usage, which resulted in a gradual rise in online bookings for music concerts, sports events, and other gatherings.

Increase in Demand for Household & Commercial LPG

The demand for composite cylinders in the household and commercial LPG segment has been steadily increasing due to their superior safety, convenience, and performance compared to conventional steel cylinders. In domestic kitchens, end-users are increasingly seeking lightweight alternatives that are easier to handle, particularly for women, elderly individuals, and urban households where portability and ease of installation matter. Composite cylinders, being 50–70% lighter than steel, address this need while also offering a modern, sleek design that fits well with contemporary kitchens. In addition, many composite cylinders are translucent, allowing users to visually check the gas level, thereby eliminating uncertainty and enhancing consumer safety. In September 2023, Hexagon Ragasco (leading composite cylinder maker) saw strategic moves and ownership changes in 2024 as the company repositioned LPG-cylinder manufacturing and scaled smart cylinder pilots. This accelerated the commercial rollouts of composite & IoT-enabled cylinders in some markets.

Automotive & Aerospace Adoption

The adoption of composite cylinders in the automotive sector is gaining momentum as global industries transition toward cleaner and more efficient fuel alternatives. In the case of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles, composite cylinders are becoming increasingly popular due to their lightweight properties, which directly contribute to improved fuel efficiency and extended driving range. Compared to conventional steel cylinders, composites reduce vehicle weight significantly, helping manufacturers meet stringent emission and efficiency targets. Similarly, in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs), composite cylinders play a crucial role in storing hydrogen at very high pressures (up to 700 bar). Their high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and superior safety performance make them indispensable for hydrogen-powered transportation, which is emerging as a key pillar of the sustainable mobility ecosystem.

Increasing adoption in LPG, CNG, hydrogen storage, and renewable energy sectors

The rising demand for clean energy is creating significant growth opportunities for composite cylinders, as they are increasingly being adopted across LPG, CNG, hydrogen storage, and renewable energy sectors. With governments and industries worldwide pushing for decarbonization, the need for safe, efficient, and lightweight storage solutions has become critical. Composite cylinders are particularly well-suited for this transition because they can withstand high pressures, are resistant to corrosion, and offer superior safety compared to traditional steel alternatives. In LPG applications, their lightweight and explosion-resistant design makes them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial users, aligning with the broader push toward safer and cleaner domestic energy consumption.

High potential in Asia-Pacific Countries

Rapid urbanization and increasing middle-class population in countries like India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others are driving greater demand for clean cooking fuels (LPG), cleaner automotive fuels (CNG, hydrogen), and industrial gases. Government programs in many APAC countries aimed at reducing dependency on traditional polluting fuels (biomass, kerosene), improving indoor air quality, and meeting climate goals. These include subsidies, mandates, incentives for LPG deployment, hydrogen roadmaps, CNG vehicle fleet growth, etc. Infrastructure being built or planned: fueling stations (for CNG, hydrogen), gas distribution networks, manufacturing/adoption of composite materials, and cylinders.
