The online robot store for 826michigan.
All sales of apparel, stationary and books support free writing programs for students in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Detroit.
With this project, we bring together the history of news print with Detroit's longstanding tradition of welcoming people to build a life and legacy separate from the places of their birth into a unique publication that shows off the things our student writers love about the place they currently call home. Written by the fifth grade students of University Prep Academy's Mark Murray campus, The Detroit Navigator Newspaper: A Kids' Eye View of the Best People, Places, and Things in the City is designed in living color so that everyone can find something within its pages that is familiar and welcoming. In addition to finding something new, something engaging, and something inspiring, it is our sincere hope that you find something to love within this inimitable metropolis as represented by the Panther Press!
