Watch the amazing innovators at the 7th annual State of Science
The St Pete Science Festival is looking for volunteers and exhibitors to participate in the February 7 School Day and February 8 Public Festival. This regional celebration of the wonders of hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) is a fun event for all ages.
Tampa Bay Innovation Center at the ARK Innovation Center is hosting an Idea Bootcamp. Typically, their 12-week accelerator program accepts 8 – 10 companies per cohort, but they realized many first-time startup founders that could benefit from the planning activities and tools may not be ready to commit to a fulltime program.
The Innovation District and six partners were recently selected to help grow startups that are working on technology/data solutions for the ocean economy. This powerful collaboration is made possible thanks to $13.9 million awarded by the NOAA Ocean Enterprise Accelerators program.
If you have looked behind the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub this week you will see a new visitor - the HOS Mystique. This vessel is assisting with the deployment of two large spar buoys next week offshore in collaboration with USF’s College of Marine Science and USF’s School of Geosciences. The spar buoy is designed to measure very small geodetic motions of the seafloor in order to better predict earthquakes and tsunamis.
Kudos to our friends at the USF College of Marine Science for hosting their third Art and Science night. They welcomed artists to explore the marine science labs, do hands on experiments, and talk to local scientists about their work. Their goal was to inspire new pieces of art which will be showcased in an exhibit in early 2025.
Ocean Exchange, a partner of the Innovation District, whose mission is to accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions for healthy oceans and the sustainable blue economy announced the winners of their annual prize competition. We were proud to be part of the voting jury for this important event.
