EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) are teaming up to invite the community to their military expo.

“Raise the Bar” games is a family-friendly event that will take place at 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 at Chapin High School, located at 7000 Dyer Street.

The event will highlight students’ talents across 15 campuses, featuring a variety of competitions that are a part of the Kickstart Kids program.

“The Raise the Bar Games and Military Expo serves as a remarkable platform for students to demonstrate their talents and accomplishments. The expo fosters a sense of community and pride among military-connected families and the wider community,” said DoDEA Project Manager Lisa Mendez.

Chapin High School ROTC cadets will also participate in the event and showcase their talents relating to military services.

Spotify's 'Listening Party' feature falls short of expectations
It’s been three years since Spotify acquired live audio startup Betty Labs, and yet the music streaming service isn’t leveraging the technology to its fullest potential—at least not in our opinion. Betty Labs-owned Locker Room launched in 2020 as a sports-focused social audio app where sports fans could engage in live conversations, create watch parties, and react to games in real-time. When Spotify bought the app, it rebranded it as Greenroom, a Clubhouse clone that catered to all types of fans, whether they’re interested in sports, fantasy football, music, and other topics.

Porsche Ventures invests in battery startup South 8 to boost cold-weather EV performance
All cars suffer when the mercury drops, but electric vehicles suffer more than most as heaters draw more power and batteries charge more slowly as the liquid electrolyte inside thickens. Drivers in Chicago found this out the hard way last January after many Teslas failed to charge during a deep freeze. One startup, South 8 Technologies, says it can make cold-weather charging more reliable by filling batteries with a pressurized, liquified gas electrolyte instead of a liquid one.
