"40 Words for Bright Futures" , from A to Endless!


 "40 Words for Bright Futures" Youth S.T.E.M. Literacy from A to Endless!

A command of vocabulary in one’s native language, is a 1st step towards comprehension and mastery in many S.T.E.M. subjects.

It is very empowering for a young person with an interest in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math profession to be introduced to a foundational glossary of words typically associated with their STEM or Infrastructure career interest.

February is Annual African American Read-In Month!  As we enter the month #2 of PerennialLIFE™’s Inaugural Legacy Awareness and Preparedness Season,  we have re-introduced our Youth Literacy initiative, called “40 Words for Bright Futures”,  that perfectly complements this monthly preparedness theme.

PerennialNC began “40 Words for Bright Futures” , in 2019 , consisting of mobile apps for iPhone and Android with 40 words in English and Spanish, that represent foundational glossaries for various STEM professions, in addition to the inclusion of short biographies of multicultural trailblazers in each field. 

The objective of “40 Words...” apps are to encounter young people where they are – on their smart phones, while providing vocabulary enrichment and awareness of opportunities in various STEM fields 

The “40 Words for Bright Futures” provides opportunities for cross-generational interaction as we invite both professionals and youth mentees to contribute to the development of the content of each app. 

Youth mentees get to experience the entire process of seeing a mobile app go from idea to design to beta-test and final submission to App Store and Google Play review!

Such exposure is priceless and potentially transformative to the youth participants.

The mobile app industry is growing exponentially, with engagement opportunity for everyone. Every “40 Words for Bright Futures™” app creates opportunities for learning, interning and earning.

We currently have two “proof-of-concept” apps on App Store and Google Play as examples of the “40 Words for Bright Futures™” app series. We invite you to support this initiative and download the apps!

·         MAC40Words - a “primer” app with 40 Words, in English and Spanish, representing a fundamental glossary in mobile app development  App Store  Google Play    

·         GAE2024  – This is a updated version of an app 1st developed in 2017 to commemorate the Great American Eclipse in August of that year.  The next Great American Eclipse will be April 8, 2024.    App Store   Google Play        

“40 Words for Bright Futures™” apps have the distinction of being internet independent. Once downloaded the core functions of  the apps work without internet.  This conserves band width usage of a family's Internet plan, especially when multiple youth users are on 1 or 2 parents' plan(s)!

We welcome sponsors such as STEM and Infrastructure Industry Professionals to contribute glossary words, and mentorship.  You KNOW something, pass on the KNOWledge! 

Below is an ever-increasing list of the 100's of STEM and Infrastructure Related Apps on schedule to be produced as part of the “40 Words for Bright Futures™” Series...

Trust the Process...

  Trust the process..    International Space Station Interior  Titan Submersible Interior  In the future men and women will colonize earth’s upper atmosphere , and from there return to the Moon, and many more years from now, travel to Mars. Yes, that’s what awaits our descendants! It’s already been proven with the International Space Station that continuous habitation beyond terrestrial earth is possible. Men and women will eventually inhabit the oceans at various depths. Why? There’s an abundance of accessible resources to sustain human life in the sea…under the right conditions. Whether in space or the ocean, new frontiers of human habitation will only be survivable through constant self-preparedness and willingness to comply with the supremacy of physical laws. Last week, a tragedy occurred that attracted world attention. The Titan Submersible, owned by OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, was destroyed during its attempted 3 rd d

May is Senior/Elderly “Preparedness Buddy” month.

May is Senior/Elderly “Preparedness Buddy” month. Truth be told, many of us have traditionally perceived the Senior/Elderly demographic as being less productive, and less able-bodied after entering “elderly” status.   Yet * recent studies show  that , Seniors overall, are among the most lively , continually productive, and “preparedness-strong” adults among us! Baby Boomers have actually benefited from better health habits in their formative years: Less processed food, more outdoor activity exposure, more 1 on 1 social interaction. These formative years exposures have provided long-term benefits as we proceed into the 55+ category. Society benefits in recognizing the enduring value of our elders: ·           They’re a source of wit, wisdom, and common sense; much needed in today’s society. ·           Our  most elderly seniors  have overcome adversity, and found ways to revive and thrive, even in the aftermath of calamitous world events: World Wars, Vietnam, Domestic Civil Unrest, Pand

March is Women of Preparedness Month at PerennialNC!

March   is Women of Preparedness Month at PerennialNC!    We celebrate the unique strengths of icons, past & present who emulate Christian faith, preparedness, resilience, and grace, amidst an at-risk world. They were & are preparedness-driven, against the odds,  to make life better for others. It takes faith, fearlessness, and self-preparedness, to take a stand as a woman, in the past, to the present day!  There are so many women that represent these attributes, who don’t “make the news” or get an award.  We honor them all! "Self-preparedness" has been a significant attribute for women since Biblical times.  As written in Proverbs 31: 15 - 30,  a husband counted a wife's entrepreneurialism and self-motivation, on behalf of her household, as a blessing.  Proverbs 31: 15-30  She gets up while it is still night;      she provides food for her family      and portions for her female servants. 16 She considers a field and buys it;      out of her earnings she plants a
