Students can learn engineering, coding, videography and more with mechanical-electronic puppets, thanks to an animatronics company focused on education through imagination.
After the COVID-19 pandemic began, Lindsey McKinnon, an art teacher at R. Dan Nolan Middle School, was used to seeing her students’ faces from the eyes up because of the School District of Manatee County’s mask policy.
When McKinnon’s students started their self portrait projects in February, she finally saw her students’ smiles when she took photos of each student.

Neonatal kittens and puppies at One At A Time Rescue are all set to remain nice and toasty warm this winter.
The foster-based pet rescue centred in both Shilo and Virden recently purchased two incubators, which fragile neonatal pets are placed in to keep them in an ideal environment. Right now we’re not in the right season, so we haven’t used it yet, but we will be and it’ll be a game-changer for these little guys, group co-founder Lindsey McKinnon said.
