Hallandale Beach Student Awarded National STEAM Scholarship South Florida Sun Times Jul 3, 2025 The Role Tech Plays In Our Daily Lives Is Growing, And Stem Fields Are Providing More Opportunities Than Ever For People Of All Ages. For Her Contributions To The Field, Anna Zavadski, An NSU University School Senior From Hallandale Beach, Florida, Was Awarded The Steam Scholarship By National Society Of High School Scholars (NSHSS). Anna started a chapter of Girls Who Code at her school. She visited low-income schools to teach elementary students how to make games in Scratch and use Wonder Dash robots, spoke with pioneering women in STEM for a speaker series she launched, and coded an extensive portfolio of projects ranging from fun birthday cards to programs advocating for social issues. In addition to computer science, Anna is also passionate about environmental issues. Seeing harmful algal blooms blanket the shores of the beaches she lives near inspired her to dedicate her school research project to learning how to predict algal blooms on Florida’s west coast. She also completed a Mapping Justice program, writing a capstone on the impact hurricanes have on vulnerable Florida communities and creating maps that display a correlation between regions frequently hit by hurricanes and low-income counties.

Anna says, "I embrace the challenge that computer science and environmental science bring to my creativity, logic, and advocacy, and am certain that I’ll be part of the movement shaping the future of technology and society at the speed of light."

A Cultural Icon: Bob Dylan Rough & Rowdy Ways Tour Comes To Broward February 8, 2024 Share Bob Dylan is one of our culture’s most influential and groundbreaking artists. In the decades since he first burst into the public’s consciousness via New York City’s Greenwich Village folk music scene in the early 1960s, Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records around the world and amassed a singular body of work that includes some of the greatest and most popular songs the world has ever known. This March Bob Dylan will bring his legendary music to the Broward Center. Born in Duluth, Minnesota, on May 24, 1941, most of Dylan’s childhood was spent in the iron-mining town of Hibbing. Dylan taught himself piano and guitar and played in several bands, attending the University of Minnesota for one year in 1959. He moved to New York in 1961 — heavily influenced by Woody Guthrie and other American folk artists — and began to play at various clubs in the burgeoning folk music scene of Greenwich Village. Signed to Columbia Records by renowned A&R Executive John Hammond in 1961, he released his self-titled debut album in 1962. Many of Dylan’s early songs were made famous by other artists, such as Joan Baez and Peter, Paul & Mary, whose versions of his classic compositions “Blowin’ In The Wind” and “The Times They Are A Changin’” helped bring the young artist to a larger audience. From his earliest performances in Greenwich Village coffee houses, folk festivals and rallies in the early 1960s to his stadium rock concerts of the 1970s and subsequent annual international tours, Dylan established an enduring reputation as one of the world’s great live performers. He has released more than 50 albums and has written more than 600 songs, some of the most famous being the aforementioned “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Like A Rolling Stone,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” and “Make You Feel My Love.” His songs have been covered more than 6,000 times by artists as diverse as Duke Ellington, Jimi Hendrix, Guns N’ Roses, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, the Staple Singers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Marley, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Adele and U2. Dylan’s contributions to worldwide culture have been recognized and honored numerous times. He received an honorary doctorate of music from Princeton University, New Jersey, in 1970 and another from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, in 2004. President Clinton presented him with a Kennedy Center Honor at the White House in 1997, recognizing the excellence of his contribution to American culture. In October 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature by the Swedish Academy “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” In 2012, he was awarded America’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Barack Obama. In addition to winning 11 Grammy Awards, Dylan has achieved six entries in the Grammy Hall of Fame, which honors recordings of “qualitative or historical significance” at least 25-years-old. Rough & Rowdy Ways Tour As Dylan prepares to take the stage at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, anticipation reaches a fever pitch. The Rough & Rowdy Ways Tour promises to be a spectacle like no other, a celebration of music, poetry, and the enduring spirit of one of America's greatest cultural icons. With tickets now on sale, fans have the opportunity to witness history in the making, to experience firsthand the magic and mystique of a living legend. This event will be a phone-free experience. Use of phones, smart watches, and accessories will not be permitted in the performance space. Upon arrival at the venue, all phones, smart watches, and accessories will be secured in individual Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event.

The City of Aventura Accepts Applications for its Youth Council May 24, 2023 Share The City of Aventura is accepting applications for member positions available on the Youth Council through June 2, 2023. Potential council members must be Aventura residents of high school age and be actively enrolled in a public or private high school for the 2023/2024 school year. Applicants must be willing to make a commitment during the school year, attend meetings as scheduled, and participate in other volunteer opportunities as offered. The Council consists of seven members selected by the City Manager. The focus of the Youth Council is to be the central planning body that will allow youth to engage different groups within their community and to provide an opportunity for youth to share in local government matters and to learn to become responsible citizens. Students who serve on youth councils are the leaders of tomorrow. It is important to expose them to municipal government at an early age. By involving and engaging residents from an early age it has been shown to produce residents who have better voting habits and show increased levels of civic participation as they get older. Youth councils are one way to forge that trust from an early age and invest in the long-term success of the community. Building an engaged community from the ground up leads to better governance with strong and cohesive communities. The mission for the board is to assist the City of Aventura in educational, civic, and community events and activities. Potential council members must be City of Aventura residents of high school age and be actively enrolled in a public or private high school for the 2023/2024 school year.
