We wanted to alert our fans out there that we have acquired the stamfordSTEM.org URL and this will be used interchangeably with the rippowamlabs.org URL in the future.
Our first motivation for this move was to make our programs easier for the public to access. Let’s face it, the rippowamlabs.org URL was difficult for some to remember or even spell. Even if you are from Stamford, CT, you may not know that the Native American name for Stamford was “Rippowam.”
You can understand what I’m saying, right? Just picture how many times I had to say the following in a phone conversation: “R” as in Robert; “I” as in Indian; “P” as in Paul; “P” as in Paul; “O” as in Orange ….. You get my drift! We just wanted to make things easier for everyone.
The second reason for this is the fact that we want to signal a change to the community. While we will always be a makerspace at heart, so much of our energies are going into to tutoring and training these days that we thought it better reflected our new activities.
But don’t worry, the rippowamlabs.org is not going away. In fact, it will remain our home page. But when you type the stamfordSTEM.org URL into your browser, you should know that you will be re-directed to the rippowamlabs.org site.
But if you see any signs or advertisements around town or on the Web with the stamfordSTEM.org URL, you should know that Rippowam Labs is the group sponsoring the event!!!
