Adult Autism Awareness Day is observed by autistic adults and their loved ones each year on April 18. Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (A.S.D.), can be identified as a broad range of conditions that are characterized by challenges pertaining to social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. Statistics show that in the United States, autism affects an estimated one in 54 children today. It is important to realize that there’s no one type of autism — these conditions are often individualistic. Adults with autism are also significant contributors to fields of arts, commerce, science, and more. The day hopes to make life more convenient for autistic adults. Show your support to those who are close to you and guide them towards resources that are available for them, Scholaroo has scholarships resources that can help those in need to expand their horizon.
Systems Engineer Day
Systems Engineer Day is held every year on the last Friday in November. System engineers have brought to life various technologies that have brought about ease in our lives, and their sacrifice truly makes them stand out. Systems engineers are reliable and have to be able to work in and manage teams. They need to think on their feet because in their daily work they have to integrate various processes into a working whole. Systems engineers are involved in systems from the rides at Disneyland to the operating rooms at hospitals.
Printing Ink Day
Printing Ink Day is celebrated annually on the closest Tuesday to January 16, since 1977. It is a day we can all come together to remember one of our most essential office tools. We get to know what inks are made of, where they come from, and what they are used for.
Ink is generally a colorant, such as a pigment or dye used to deliver color to a surface like paper.
Back in the day, there were no printers or ball pens to take notes so people used materials like colored vegetables or blood of fish amongst others. Imagine having to kill a fish every time you needed to send a note to a friend. This could take the fun out of it.
