VILLAGE HALLS - THE FORGOTTEN GEMS OF OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES.
We have just embarked on a really exciting project where we work directly with children in their own rural village communities - which unfortunately has tended to have been forgotten about in our city orientated society. Our focus is using technology for new creative learning directly within local VILLAGE HALLS.
Consequently, we have travelled right across the United Kingdom, and worked with children specifically in our VILLAGE HALLS. Great little buildings, great young people, and we have specifically taken creative technology learning right into the heart of the countryside.
Are there any VILLAGE HALL COMMUNITIES who want to become part of this fantastic movement we have started ??? - then please do contact us here at cm.enquiries@cutememory.co.uk
This will be one of our central FOCUSES for 2009...!!! Please do feel free to support us, and get on board.

CUTE MEMORY TAKES LEARNING OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM...!!
Introducing Our ROBOTICS APPRENTICE DAYS - Using the latest LEGO BASED Robotics MINDSTORMS equipment to let young people's innovative imaginations run overtime.
Our team here at CUTE MEMORY would like to introduce you to the fantastic world of LEGO MINDSTORMS. We have used this fantastic Robotics System to create a magical technological learning workshop for ALL CHILDREN, and their PARENTS/CARERS, which specifically takes place in environments which are not always associated with learning.
The teams of young people are given the high quality equipment and creative space to design, build, and ultimately program their own fully functioning ROBOT. Their powerful creations are put to the ultimate test when they have to successfully complete the specially prepared assault course.
Lots of ENTHUSIASM, ENERGY, INNOVATION, AND CREATIVITY REQUIRED ............ BIG FUN and REAL LEARNING GUARANTEED..!!
Thought about hosting one of our FANTASTIC ROBOTICS EXPERIENCES WITH YOUNG PEOPLE YOU KNOW - Then please feel free to discuss your ideas here at cm.enquiries@cutememory.co.uk

A STOCKING FILLER WHICH MAKES COMPUTERS SMILE AGAIN!!
Over the last decade or so we at Cute Memory have set out to make new technologies as accessible and relevant to our youngest people here in the UK.
Not only, therefore, as how we have presented these great opportunities to youngsters, and their parents, evolved and ultimately matched their expectations - but the simple fact that we are now working alongside 6 year olds - but the equipment they are using has been designed by some techie 30+ year old. We had to change this, we had to make this connection with the 6 year old and those young people and adults who worked with them.
Consequently, out of this our very famous online store at http://www.cutememory.co.uk/ was born. Please go and have a look at what we mean here - have you ever seen or felt a MEMORY STICK which is CALLED JACK THE DOG, or a MONKEY CALLED SUNMOON. Kids love them - we sell loads to Schools directly - and even the ADULTS GET INTO THEM. Great for storing work documents, images, sounds etc. etc.
With Christmas just around the corner - We cant think what would make a more co0l, funky, and yet very, very useful stocking filler - have a look for yourself, and then tell us what you think about these great little resources.

THE CUTE MEMORY PHILOSOPHY
Cute Memory was formed by a team of teacher's 3 yers ago who collectively are passionate about using the power of modern technologies to energise, inspire and shape the learning potential of all young people.
During this period we have very successfully been at the forefront of discovering and delivering exciting technologically driven learning opportunities across the whole of the United Kingdom, and into Europe.
We constantly keep looking at moving this exciting and fast moving learning agenda constantly forward. Therefore, we would like to use this very important platform to explain and explore what we have achieved so far, and how we can work in partnership with others in defining the massive role technology will play in shaping the learning of the future for us all.
We hope that you both share and can actively contribute to this massively important journey.
