For eight years\, she and other families battled for homeschool freedom and established landmark homeschool legislation in South Carolina. In 1990\, she founded the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools (SCAIHS) and served as its president for ten years. Zan loves to empower parents as they answer their God-given calling to homeschool. She is an inspirational speaker and author. \nWe will be hosting a special event with Zan Tyler on August 19th at 12:35pm at our Greenville Campus (Grace Church in Taylors). Attendance is free\, but registration is required. \nEvery person that registers will be entered into a drawing for a free student standardized testing certificate (Woodcock-Johnson test of achievement $90 value) from SMART Testing. \nWe encourage all teachers\, parents\, and students to attend this event – it is so very vital for us to know the history of the homeschooling movement in SC to preserve the freedoms for our future generations. You will be overwhelmed when you hear the full circle ending as recent as this past year! \n  URL:https://upstatecoop.org/event/zan-tyler-event/ LOCATION:Grace Church – Taylors\, 2701 Wade Hampton Blvd.\, Greenville\, SC\, 29615\, United States CATEGORIES:Greenville,Spartanburg ORGANIZER;CN="Anastasia Pishchenko":MAILTO:apishchenko@upstatecoop.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240819T144500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240819T153000 DTSTAMP:20260404T065758 CREATED:20240730T190506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240730T190506Z UID:10000724-1724078700-1724081400@upstatecoop.org SUMMARY:Lego Robotics Classes for 3rd to 5th Grade DESCRIPTION:Students build exciting models using WeDo LEGO® kit featuring working motors\, gears\, pulleys\, and sensors\, connect them to a computer\, and use an icon-based software program to create and control the robot’s behavior.
