Even if it’s just ChatGPT/Claude for emails or a Make/Zapier zap that saves you an hour.

Real tools, real use cases, no jargon required. (help others learn)

Keep it going here.
(if you’re here before the event is over, we haven’t put the ones captured on the board yet, we will)

What part of your workday costs you the most time, energy, or money and feels like it shouldn’t? Drop it here and let’s see if someone in the community has already solved it.

Tell us what your business does, where you’re based, and one thing you’re trying to figure out right now.
No pitches, just people.

Hosted at Portland State University since 2016, our week-long summer camp is free and open to any Oregon student entering the 9–12 grade. It offers an immersive introduction to transportation careers and the workings of transportation systems in Portland. Students will hear from guest speakers, develop data collection and STEM skills, and go on daily field trips.

Note: SP coalition member H. Heinzer (Daimler) sent his kiddos here, they had tours of Tri-met, tunnels, and others. Sounded very good.

I’m looking forward to creating new partnership opportunities here. If anyone has curriculum building questions please ask! It’s one of my favorite things to talk about 🙂

I understand they make science/engineering learning kits for the afterschool K-8 programs at our title 1 schools.
Partially funded by Portland Children’s Levy and reaching the audience we intend to.
This would be a great partnership.

Doctors requiring usage of messaging and scheduling apps to communicate:

  • phones which are constantly changing and operate differently between the types,
  • dexterity and visual problems which make them even more difficult to interact with,
  • hardware/connectivity/wifi challenges

    • Libraries sometimes offer drop-in tech help sessions. I wonder if we could use the STEAM Pathways center to benefit the folks needing help and also encourage our youth to come and volunteer to help these folks. The youth can show off their tech skills while practicing making human connections. Everyone wins.
