Local youth recently conducted a series of interviews with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) professionals in our community about their careers. This new video series will be released by the St. Pete Innovation District in conjunction with the St. Pete Catalyst beginning in September. Special thank you to LaShante Keys, the M.A.S.T.R. Kids Program, Rahman Johnson, and Sandra (our photographer) for making this possible.
Join us for a Trolley Tour of the District on Friday, April 18th from 1:30pm-4:30pm. This popular event is offered 2-3 times a year. It begins at the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub. You will board a trolley with other Innovation District partners and community members. As we travel throughout the District, you will learn about the history and future plans for the area. We will make several stops for an insider view of the research and collaborations underway. The tour will conclude back at Hub with a networking happy hour.
The Innovation District hosts a quarterly breakfast series called Morning Sparks: Innovation X-change. At each session we explore emerging technologies, invite District partners to share their current related efforts, and engage in thoughtful (and hopefully spirited) discussions that will spark future innovation.
Each month our team confers about what to include in the District newsletter. We lament how to share all the amazing stories while not creating an encyclopedia (yes, I am showing by age with an old school reference). We are fortunate to have so many things going on in the District.
