SUMMARY:Makerspaces & Playces
DESCRIPTION:We had a fun night of cocktails and laser cutters for our 21+ Night at the TechShop to benefit Green Playces. Mingle with Makers\, Movers and Shakers enjoyed small bites\, engaged in maker-centered games\, and interacted with tool demonstrations that built educational play components for Green Playce sites.\nAbout The Cause:\nGTECH’s Green Playces initiative closes the gap between the lack of environmental education and access to safe\, vibrant green spaces for youth who live in close proximity to blighted\, vacant land by transforming vacant lots into meaningful outdoor making and learning spaces for STEM education and eco-literacy curriculum. See Green Playces in action. \n

SUMMARY:Circle Economy for Communities: Coffee with Andre Struker
DESCRIPTION:This event is free\, but we ask that you REGISTER to attend.\nThe circular economy is about closing resource loops\, mimicking natural ecosystems in the way we organize our society and businesses. Andre Struker\, Strategic Advisor to Amsterdam’s water utility Waternet\, is coming to Pittsburgh to share his expertise on how the facility’s energy-from-waste ecosystem fits within the overall circular economy strategy in Amsterdam and how the utility is “mining for energy” in its goal to become climate neutral by 2020. \nThe circular economy can be applied to help communities minimize waste\, maximize value creation\, and generate new opportunity for prosperity. GTECH is hosting coffee with Andre Struker to explore how these innovative principles can be applied locally with businesses\, community-based organizations and active citizens. During the coffee participants will have the opportunity to hear a presentation from Struker to dig deeper into the model and ask him questions to consider challenges and possible applications locally. \nThank you to our venue and coffee sponsors:

SUMMARY:Growler Hour with ioby
DESCRIPTION:ioby believes that it should be easy to make meaningful change “in our backyards” – the positive opposite of the “not in my back yard” mentality called NIMBY. To do this ioby has designed a crowd-resourcing platform that mobilizes neighbors who have good ideas to become powerful citizen leaders who make positive change in their own communities. GTECH and The Sprout Fund have been partnering with ioby to support innovative and creative projects that focus on current issues and challenges affecting local communities. We invite you to experience these local projects and learn how ioby’s unique platform and their concept of crowd-resourcing helped drive these projects to success to make our neighborhoods safer\, greener\, more livable and more fun. \nJoin GTECH and The Sprout Fund to meet ioby Founder and CEO\, Erin Barnes and the local citizen leaders who have implemented great ideas one block at a time with ioby. Enjoy growlers of local beer as you learn why ioby chose Pittsburgh to open their next office in Spring 2016 and their plans for growing positive neighbor-led change locally. This is a public event for non-profits\, public agencies\, municipalities\, community groups and individuals that are interested in connecting their ideas with the crowdfunding resources to make it happen. \nArrive starting at 6 pm to grab one of East End Brewing Company’s beers and tacos from La Palapa’s food truck. Remarks introducing Erin Barnes\, Founder and CEO of ioby begin at 6:30 pm inside the taproom.\nThe event is free to attend\, but we ask that you please register to help us connect with you for the event.
