The Bowtie Brigade (www.thebowtiebrigade.org/) is a student-lead community team composed of students from six different middle and high schools. They meet in a central location in SE Portland where they learn about STEM, leadership, communication, and how a business runs. We're excited that they're coming to Free Geek to show off their robot, explain the process of building, programming and competing with robots. This demonstration is open to participants of all-ages and those in middle and high school who might be interested in robots are invited to come out and learn more. They're always looking for new team members!
The Bowtie Brigade will also be competing in the pre-season Rookie Rumble the following day, Sunday 10/20. This competition starts at 10am at Catlin Gabel school. Please come out to support a local community team (some members are also Free Geek volunteers) and learn more about robot competitions.

AgilePDX Westside (morning) - : 'Scaling Practice: Rebooting the Technical Culture'
Roll back
| description |
Instilling good habits isn't easy: Just ask anyone trying to give up a bad one. It's more challenging trying to change the habits of 100,000. Matt will discuss efforts at Intel to accelerate adoption of better technical capabilities, and the impediments faced by teams in adopting new skills under pressure.
Bio:
Matt Plavcan is a Technical Practices Coach with the Intel's Emergent Systems and Coaching team. He has worked at Intel for sixteen years, and has been writing code for three decades. His previous jobs include hardware validation for the Pentium 4 and Core microprocessors and teaching Intel architecture at the University of Illinois. Matt is the founder of the Code Dojo and Retreat program at Intel, which uses dedicated practice to hone professional programming skills.

Join TiE Oregon's Pitch Club!
First in a series of bi-weekly sessions where you can practice your pitching skills.
The one requirement: come and be ready to deliver your pitch (no onlookers/tire kickers please)!
You can be called upon at any moment to launch into your pitch in front of your peers, and visiting TiE mentors.
You may choose to simply speak in front of the people assembled, or you may bring your laptop to plug into the A/V system and use a presentation as well.
Following the Pitch Club session we will offer drinks and refreshments at the TiE Pearl Incubator, while we discuss feedback and mingle.
The Pitch Club event is open to all TiE Members (free), as well as the public ($25). |

Speaking of the future… Mobile apps may soon be able to forecast trends and predict outcomes. Prototype apps (like ShakeAlert) are being developed to predict disasters before they happen and change how we respond to them. Existing technologies like GPS will also become more sophisticated and be able to predict congestion before it happens.
What else is in store? Join our panel to find out. |

The Digital Age of Marketing [Innovation in Motion}

In today’s digital word, it can be difficult to reach consumers who are constantly connected AND constantly bombarded with ads and messages. They’re watching TV while on their tablets. They switch between Facebook and Twitter on their smartphones. Let’s face it. You have to do something to grab their attention for more than five—or fifty—seconds.
If you want to stand out and win their attention, your content should be king. Google no longer likes technical-sounding, SEO-filled web pages. Your content should be original, exciting, engaging, useful, informative, and valuable. After all, you’re not a robot and neither is your brand. Join us this month and learn why storytelling through strong content matters. |

Is sifting through your own data like stepping in quicksand? With marketing automation tools (used correctly) like Eloqua, Marketo, and Hubspot, it doesn’t have to be such a struggle.
Using the right tools can help you see who’s engaging with your product or service and where they are in the sales cycle. Knowing the right information about your potential customers can help you have more relevant conversations that lead to closing deals. |
