IT BEGINS WITH A STORY
In 1666 Isaac Newton developed many of his most important concepts regarding calculus, gravity and physics...while in quarantine at his home due to an outbreak of the plague.
In fact, the year was so pivotal he labeled it his “year of wonders.”
While we recognize there has been tremendous suffering on account of the present global pandemic, we also believe this can be an important time of discovery and an opportunity to think about the future in new ways.
To that end, join us for the second Oklahoma "Wonder" Grant.
