Aura

Did you know August 1 is World Wide Web Day? This annual celebration commemorates the birth of the World Wide Web (WWW) and acknowledges its profound and transformative impact on modern society! 🎉 The web has reshaped nearly every aspect of our lives, from how we communicate to how we spend our leisure time. It's hard to imagine life, let alone our work, before instant access to information, global collaboration, and all the other possibilities the WWW unlocked! Curious about which digital tools our team relies on most, we asked our employees: "What's one app or website you can't live without? 🤔 " And now, we'd love to hear from you: What's your primary use for the web? 👍 Like = Communication ❤️ Love =  Access information 👏 Celebrate = Conduct business 💡 Insightful = Learn and Educate  😂 Laugh = Entertainment #LifeAtAura #Tech #Corporate

We can hardly believe our interns have already been with us for over seven weeks, and our co-op students are already wrapping up their first month! So in honor of National Intern Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the hard work and contributions these students have brought to Aura in that time. Their fresh ideas, unique perspectives, eagerness to learn, and commitment to growth have made a visible impact across their teams and our organization as a whole. But don’t just take our word for it - swipe to see what their mentors have to say about their progress thus far! P.S. A huge thank you to our mentors as well, whose willingness to guide and support our interns has been absolutely essential to the program’s success and their personal development. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and make such a positive impact. 💙 Giavanna Villella Emma Wiggleton Tucker Adamek Emily Cavanaugh Allison Paige Megdelawit Anbese Elizabeth VanDomelen Zachary Bricken Cindy Mensah Hala Gilbert Lily Hoffman Richard Obeakemhe #NationalInternDay #LifeAtAura #CareerDevelopment

So nice getting together with some of the Aura Boston crew earlier this week for a little summer celebration. ☀️ We finally hopped on one of those tiki boats we've seen cruising past our office a hundred times, and I can confirm they are as fun as they look. It's days like these that remind me how much the people make this place special. 💙 Counting down the days until our next get-together! #LifeAtAura #WorkLife

Really appreciated the chance to speak with Megan Morrone for her latest Axios piece on what it means when kids engage with chatbots, including the developmental questions we need to start asking now. Megan said it best: “Assessing the impacts early could help protect a new generation from becoming guinea pigs for tech we don't fully understand.” This conversation is only getting more urgent.

Fun fact: One of our All-Stars is a World Record Juggler! 🤹 And it turns out, his impressive talent offers some surprising and valuable insights into key life skills. At Aura, families are at the heart of everything we do - our mission, our product, and many of our incredible teams. As kids dive into summer vacation, we know a lot of our All-Star parents are busy recalibrating routines, managing new schedules, and constantly searching for that elusive "balance." ⚖️ That's why yesterday, we hosted a special Lunch & Learn with two of our in-house experts: - Jessica E. Flannery, Ph.D.: Director of Clinical Product Integration who specializes in the developmental social neuroscience of kids and adolescents  - Carson Firth: Production Operations Engineer and world-record juggler! During the call, Jessica offered practical strategies for parents to experience a smoother, more enjoyable summer while Carson provided a unique perspective on multitasking by giving us a live lesson on the art of juggling. Together, they showed us how we can keep all our "balls" in the air - literally and figuratively! 👏 #LifeAtAura #Balance #Parenting
