RESOURCES

TOOLS FOR THE CURIOUS

Exploration often begins with a question.

Sometimes the next step requires a little help.

The Quantum Inspirations Resources collection brings together useful information, references, tools, organizations, educational materials, creative resources, and other places to continue exploring the subjects found throughout our projects.

Think of this page as a starting point—not the final word.

LEARNING & DISCOVERY

Good exploration means looking beyond a single source.

Whether you're exploring spirituality, learning about broadcasting, discovering new technology, developing a creative skill, exploring gaming, researching history, or simply chasing an interesting question, we encourage you to dig deeper.

Compare sources.

Look for original information whenever possible.

Consider who created the information and why.

Separate facts from opinions.

Be willing to encounter different perspectives.

And don't be afraid to discover that your original assumption was wrong.

Changing your mind because you learned something new isn't failure. It's learning.

SPIRITUALITY & PERSONAL EXPLORATION

Spiritual exploration is deeply personal.

Resources in this area may include materials related to meditation, reflection, philosophy, spiritual traditions, creativity, personal development, symbolism, human potential, and different approaches to questions of meaning and purpose.

Explore freely.

Keep what helps.

Question what doesn't.

And allow other people the freedom to do the same.

RADIO, AUDIO & BROADCASTING

Radio continues to connect people through music, information, entertainment, storytelling, personality, and conversation.

Resources connected with Great Lakes Radio may include information involving:

You don't need the fanciest equipment to begin.

Sometimes the most important tool is simply having something worth saying.

GAMING & DIGITAL WORLDS

Games can be entertainment, competition, storytelling, creativity, social spaces, and sometimes all of those things at once.

Resources connected with Great Lakes Games Network may include information about:

Play.

Explore.

Learn something.

Meet people.

CREATIVITY & STORYTELLING

Ideas become more interesting when we give them somewhere to go.

Creative resources may include information about:

You don't need permission to begin creating.

Start with what you have.

Learn as you go.

Make mistakes.

Try again.

Every finished project began as something unfinished.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology runs through nearly everything we do.

It allows us to broadcast, communicate, create, play, publish, learn, and connect with people around the world.

Resources in this area may include information about digital tools, websites, accessibility, online communication, media technology, creative software, privacy, security, and emerging technologies.

Technology should be a tool for exploration—not a requirement to understand every button before you're allowed to participate.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

Sometimes people need more than information.

They need somewhere to go.

As Quantum Inspirations grows, this area may connect visitors with organizations, community services, educational opportunities, accessibility resources, volunteer opportunities, creative communities, and other useful programs.

When we discover something genuinely valuable, we'd rather share it than keep it to ourselves.

USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT

A link appearing on Quantum Inspirations doesn't mean every statement on another website represents our views.

Websites change.

Organizations change.

Information changes.

And occasionally the internet does what the internet does.

Use your judgment.

Check important information independently.

For medical, legal, financial, safety, or other professional matters, seek appropriately qualified guidance rather than relying solely on general information found online.

THIS LIBRARY WILL KEEP GROWING

The Resources section is intended to evolve alongside Quantum Inspirations.

As our projects grow, we'll continue adding useful places to learn, create, listen, play, connect, reflect, and explore.

If something sends you down an unexpected rabbit hole of discovery, around here we'd probably consider that a success.

KEEP EXPLORING

You don't need to know everything before you begin.

Find a good starting point.

Ask better questions.

Learn something new.

Create something.

Follow an unexpected idea.

And wherever your exploration takes you:

Stay curious.
