CHIFOO Presents: Finding the Awesome in Education feat. Karen Mahon
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
There are hundreds of thousands of apps available in the app store and the numbers are ever increasing. A reasonable percentage of these apps focus on education. But there are few apps that quantify their effectiveness or value for the students who use them or the teachers and parents who purchase them.
How can behavioral science, instructional design, gaming and UX/UI design assist in this effort, not only to build products that are effective and fun, but to define these metrics and educate consumers about how to identify them? What makes an app AWESOME and how can we quantify that? Not only in terms of fun, but in terms of teaching kids meaningful stuff! This talk will explore these questions, using example apps to illustrate the relevant features.
This event is sponsored by Clarity Innovations, which is paying for non-members to attend for free. Seating is limited, so you should register in advance to be sure you have a seat!

OEN’s Angel Oregon has been a key element in the funding and development of seed stage companies in Oregon since 2005 when the first investment award was presented. However, the program was only offered once a year. Due to an increasing demand on the part of entrepreneurs for access to capital, education, mentors, and other resources, OEN has responded by making Angel Oregon a year round program, starting with the new OEN Angel Oregon Fall Program. - See more at: http://www.oen.org/events/angel-oregon/?loggedin=true#sthash.IH5zFm3W.dpuf |

#Brunch 31
** *September 29, Noon - 2pm* **
This month through the end of 2013, Brunch has its own apartment, smack in the middle of downtown Portland.
Please Note: Brunch has slimmed down. Talks start at 12:30, and everything finishes by 2pm.
We are doing something a bit different this month. A member of the RC Board has been working with the Lewis and Clark College Venture competition and suggested we have some of the student businesses do a "dress rehearsal" of the final pitch they will present to a panel of judges where they could receive up to $30,000 in funding for their venture.
In keeping with the spirit of the competition, we're going to give you very little info about these businesses. The students will be looking for feedback on their presentation and how well they pitch their venture. Exciting!
**Bring some or all of these things for the optimum Brunch Experience**
* A healthy sense of curiosity
* Food to share
* Friends! Lots of friends!
* Your own plates and utensils

Galois Tech Talk: Chris Anderson on Using Drones in Agriculture

Small unmanned aircraft---more often called drones---are set to make a big impact on agriculture. You already know about military drones operating overseas, and perhaps you've even seen recreational drones starring in youtube videos, but as the FAA begins permitting commercial use of unmanned aircraft in 2015, you'll see drones replacing all sorts of roles that used to require a manned aircraft, and taking on new roles made possible by their low cost, versatility, and safety.
Chris Anderson will speak about the upcoming role of drones in agriculture, a field Chris says "is a big data problem without the big data." Chris will describe how farmers can will drones to curb plant disease, conserve water, and reduce pesticide and fertilizer use. He'll discuss the challenges ahead to integrate air vehicle systems with sensors, specialized cameras, and data processing. |

Portland Mini Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people share what they are making and learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, students, authors, and commercial exhibitors. They are of all ages and backgrounds. Maker Faire’s mission is to entertain, inform, connect and inspire these thousands of Makers and aspiring Makers.
Close to 100 Makers will be participating in this year's Portland Mini Maker Faire and we are so excited about their creativity and enthusiasm.
Makers will run the gamut from the latest technology, including demonstrations of 3D printing robots, a Tesla coil and Frankenstein the Electric Bike; to rocket making, sustainable art, blacksmithing, welding, a motion-sensor sky diving game and much more.
Visitors can watch demonstrations and get hands on with projects that include twisted copper art; glass fusing; lighted jewelry made from metal, glass, crystals and LEDs; and a variety of upcycled art projects.
Not a Maker but still want to get involved? Consider volunteering! Contact OMSI Volunteer Coordinator Ashley VanOsdel for details or call 503.797.4615. |
