create Calagator::Event 1250464897 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!

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 #This Month's Speakers **Lee LaTour** [Lewis and Clark Venture Competition](http://college.lclark.edu/programs/entrepreneurship/venture_competition/) An overview of the competition and Lewis and Clark's new entrepreneurship program. **Zachary Tobias, Ryan Bubriski and Will Fortini** [Portland Mushroom Company](http://www.portlandmushroomco.com) The goal of the Portland Mushroom Company is to provide high-quality locally produced oyster mushrooms to the Portland metropolitan area and lead the way in urban mushroom cultivation in the Northwest. **Robert Bart, Howard Voght, Jeffrey Crosswhite, and Thomas Sunderland** [Forge Portland](http://forgeportland.org) The goal of Forge Portland is to provide a shared workspace for nonprofit organizations that helps accelerate progress toward their goals by reducing overhead costs, pooling resources, and creating a vibrant and collaborative atmosphere.

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.
