At the Hub's July Tech X-change attendees heard from Airbox Systems / Gates Defense about their comprehensive suite of situational awareness tools. Participants learned about how Airbox provides visibility in the air and on land during scenarios including natural disaster coordination, large-scale event safety and security, and military operations. Ideas were shared about how our own St. Pete community could leverage this expertise for the hurricane season, popular City events, and more.

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.
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.
