This week on the show: Inflation, Winter Forecast, and Crafting!

How has inflation affected holiday shopping?
What does winter have in store for us this year?
A university uses AI to check in its students.
And a world renowned ice artist carves out his own niche in Medina.

Classrooms of the future?

In this week’s episode we visit two schools in Wisconsin that are using tech to engage with their students.

So that got us thinking … What will school be like in the future?

Will we have robots sharpening our pencils? Or maybe teachers will be able to use holograms to present lessons across the country?

Students can use our inbox form online or send us an email to newsdepth@ideastream.org to send us their answers.

Winter is coming! … At least that’s according to The National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration’s winter outlook projections.

This year, they predict a La Nina winter, which could bring a warmer and drier south and a wetter mid-and pacific northwest.

Of course, Ohio is no stranger to snow. We experience what we call Lake Effect Snow!

For our poll this week, we want to know: Do you like winter?

You can choose between: Yes! Winter is my favorite season. or No, I prefer warmer weather.
