GET GOING FASTER ON GOPRO THANKS TO RIGADO (Yes, I’m a poet.)

It’s always interesting when companies move from single solution thinking to platform thinking. GoPro is in the midst of that very transition as it rethinks and retools its business. And local startup Rigado is right in the thick of it.

MEET THE BEAVERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT MOBILE MAKER SPACE

The day and age of schools having shop class are, sadly, a thing of the past. So what is the next generation of would-be makers to do when they need space to muck around with tech or production equipment? The Beaverton School District is proposing one solution. It’s a mobile maker space housed within an old school bus. Meet the #FutureBus.

WE MAY NOT HAVE GOOGLE FIBER, BUT WE’VE GOT THIS

Portland’s never-ending dance with Google around Google Fiber continues with no end—positive or negative—in sight. But that’s not stopping Google from applying needed resources to the Portland community. Like their Google Fiber Digital Inclusion Fellowship.
