Thanks to all our team members who participated in Rake the Town in last weekend!

Around 25 team members and their families raked the yards of four elderly homeowners in Sioux Falls. Volunteers enjoyed the sunshine while removing truckloads of leaves from the four yards! pic.twitter.com/xZnFXaK7Pw

From our keynote speaker, @Astro_Flow: It’s so important for all students to see themselves in STEM roles + to have that representation. Even in our language, let’s change it to “one small step for humans, one giant leap for HUMANkind.” #NationalSTEMDay ?#STEMCareersCoalition pic.twitter.com/C770hQylGX

Quotable

“We’re confident that we’re really ready to scale. That BAMTech platform has been tested under pretty interesting circumstances, including this past Saturday night when you have hundreds of thousands of people signing up for a pay-per-view event in a very, very short concentrated period of time… We feel that the platform is robust enough and all the elements that need to be in place to manage that kind of scale are there. — Disney CEO Bob Iger on the upcoming launch of Disney+ during the 3Q19 earnings call
