TEDxMidAtlantic 2016: New Rules The world is changing fast. Often so fast that we don’t take the time to think about what kind of society and future we actually want to build. Politics has become disconnected from fact. Innovation is pursued without consideration of ethics. Around the world, we are building walls instead of bridges. New Rules asks: • How can we be more empathetic when we design for the future? • How can we reconnect policy with facts, truth, and logic? • What ethics should we pursue as we shape our rapidly changing world? The answers are elusive — but we become stronger when we ask these questions together. What are the New Rules that will help guide us for the next century?

OUR BEGINNINGS: Our journey began over 15 years ago in the Spring of 2000 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC. It was there that Fred Ashley, Lee Bruner III and Camilo Martinez, the Founders of the Iota Academy first embraced the ideas on which the Academy was created. The principles of Scholarship, Leadership, Citizenship, Fidelity and overarching Brotherhood has stood the test of time. OUR ACADEMY: Through the ongoing support of our Friends, Family and Fraternity, The Iota Academy has every intention on being the preferred choice to individuals who have the audacity and work ethic to aggressively pursue their ambitions in the face of adversity. The Iota Academy members are not limited to the Brothers of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, nor is it limited to only men. However, we believe that the lives of minority men have become less and less valued in recent years. Therefore, the Iota Academy strives to create an environment, where previously under-served and under-value citizens, specifically minority men, can gain access to many of the resources and life skills we were afforded when we joined this great Fraternity. Too often, many of the practices share and passed down in under-served communities are inefficient, outdated and even counter-productive. By helping others, adopt best practices, we believe we can make a significant impact on the lives of minority men, their families and the communities in which they reside. BENEFITS OF JOINING: When an individual joins the Iota Academy, he/she will receive access to Career Coaching, Personal Development Workshops and our Professional Networking resources. Individuals will be able to use these tools 24 hours a day and 7 days Week. "Time is important, time after time, time waits for no one."

Get Schooled's founder, Dr. Roman Kazban, started teaching while attending graduate school. He holds a Doctorate Degree in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame and teaches mathematics and physics from the basics through the advanced college level. Dr. Kazban has always enjoyed teaching. As a mechanical engineer, his highly technical day-to-day work has allowed him to stay erudite in the subjects taught at Get Schooled. The instructors at Get Schooled are Dr. Kazban’s peers and also hold advanced engineering degrees. At Get Schooled, instructors do not work with more than 4 students per school year as it allows them to concentrate on the needs of each student rather than creating a "tutoring factory." Get Schooled’s teaching methods are simple: theory and practice go hand in hand. Therefore, each new subject begins with covering the theory and providing examples individually crafted for each student’s capabilities. Contact Get Schooled today and rediscover math and physics.
