TIME for Kids chooses the world’s largest children’s museum as one of the 50 Coolest places in the world

There are many children’s museums, but none are quite as amazing—or as expansive—as The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.


INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)

TIME For Kids (TFK) revealed the first-ever list of the World’s 50 Coolest Places of 2019, spotlighting a mix of educational, innovative, and fun destinations that are tailored to the interests of kids. The list identifies The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis as one of the 50 coolest places.

To assemble the list, TIME for Kids gathered nominations from its network of TFK Kid Reporters and from young readers around the world. Each nomination was then evaluated on several factors, including quality, originality, sustainability, and accessibility.

The result: a list of 50 exciting, innovative, and iconic destinations around the world—from a Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore with a gourmet kids’ menu to America’s tallest sand dunes, which are perfect for sledding.

The article praised The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis: “There are many children’s museums, but none are quite as amazing—or as expansive—as the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. After all, it’s the largest children’s museum in the world. Here, kids can learn about dinosaurs, ancient Greece, outer-space artifacts, and much more. In 2018, the museum opened the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience. It’s a 7.5-acre space where kids can play while learning about the history and culture of sports. Experts are on hand to coach young athletes. They can help them use their newfound skills in football, basketball, hockey, golf, car racing, and other sports. Kids can also sculpt their own sports figures or record a TV-ready sports broadcast,” said Rebecca Katzman.

“We are honored to have such a notable, global magazine recognize the world’s largest children’s museum with such a prestigious honor,” said Dr. Jeffrey H. Patchen, president and CEO, The Children’s Museum. “The best part is that we were selected by children and families who visit, engage, and immerse themselves in the rich arts, sciences and humanities-based experiences we provide. Our goal is to transform lives in positive ways and we are thankful for this wonderful acknowledgement of the success of our work.”

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is proud to partner with Riley Children’s at Indiana University Health, Old National Bank and Ice Miller LLP.

Other inspiring conference messages are highlighted in the report, including the following:

  • Industry stakeholders must educate on the opportunities available in an insurance career for diverse talent, with a looming talent and experience gap anticipated due to retirement wave.

  • Leaders should “leave the ladder down” and ensure that anyone has a chance at reaching the top of their profession.

  • Recruiters should consider the needs and opinions of the next generation, members of which view diversity as a core value and bring diversity of thought.

“This new office is very important to our growing work in tele-healthcare applications. It’s a sign of our continued investment in building secure and HIPAA compliant applications, which is incredibly important for the fast-paced technology changes of modern healthcare video solutions.”


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (PRWEB)

WebRTC.ventures, leading global integrators of live interactive video into web and mobile applications, announced today two new offices recently established for the design and development of custom telehealth applications.

The new corporate headquarters office is located in Crozet, Virginia, just outside of Charlottesville. In addition, WebRTC.ventures has opened a new office for testing and quality in Panama City, in the Republic of Panamá.

“Our team has been building real-time and video applications since 2010, and our team has worked remotely from around North and South America during that time,” explained CEO and founder Arin Sime. “With our growth in healthcare software development in recent years, we are now formalizing our testing and quality assurance processes, and that work will be focused in our new office in Panama City.”

WebRTC.ventures was founded in 2010 in Virginia as AgilityFeat Inc, and has a team of 60 people, primarily remote developers. The new headquarters in Charlottesville will be home to the growing executive and management team. The new office in Panama City is located on Avenida Balboa, facing the Panama Canal’s Pacific Ocean entrance and in the heart of a fast-growing Latin American city. The Panama City office has opened with an initial quality assurance staff of four, but is expected to expand in 2020 to include additional customer support and software development roles.

“This new office is very important to our growing work in tele-healthcare applications,” said Danielle Daoud, Director of Services. “It’s a sign of our continued investment in building secure and HIPAA compliant applications, which is incredibly important for the fast-paced technology changes of modern healthcare video solutions.”

WebRTC.ventures builds telehealth software applications which allow doctors and patients to connect remotely when an in-person visit is not feasible. Telehealth applications built by WebRTC.ventures are currently being used in mental health and medical clinics around the US and Australia.

Telehealth is a major component of the future of healthcare in the US and globally, and allows healthcare providers to connect with their patients when and where they need care, using secure video technologies. Telehealth enables improved quality and access to healthcare for patients, and offers cost efficiencies to medical providers. Industry analysts suggest Telehealth will continue to grow at annual rates of 16.9%. (source: https://www.americantelemed.org/)
