Blog Rewind

The Rock 101 blog was established in November of 2023. Since then, we have uncovered the stories of several Rock 101 instructors, explored adolescent neuroscience, and learned the inner workings of several Rock 101 programs. This month, we’re hitting the rewind button as we take a second look at a few of our favorite blogs. Check them out below!

As every high school biology student knows, courtesy of Charles Darwin, populations evolve over time.  While Rock 101 has adapted through the years, read about the one element that has remained the same. The one thing that is so perfect in its conception, so genuine in its impact, and so thoughtful in its execution that further evolution is not required.
