Welcome to the News and Press Release section of the Future Is N.E.A.R. website

While effective and complete documentation of research is critical in research, effective communication is equally essential.  If what is accomplished, successes and failures, is not documented and shared, the world cannot collectively move forward in the quest to improve the human condition!

Please see news and press releases regarding many of the research endeavors happening in the Engineering Design and Development course of the North Penn High School Engineering Academy.
