About

Technology Interest Group is a bi-monthly (twice per month on the second and fourth Wednesdays 6pm-8pm) meeting for students, hobbyists and professionals to discuss technology projects and ideas in a supportive and social atmosphere. The focus is on interpersonal networking, sharing information in order to build skills, and advancing personal/professional projects. Participants should not disclose confidential information to the group as there are no expressed or implied non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

Each meeting will have a designated group leader who will facilitate:

• A featured speaker to present their project or other topic for up to 30 minutes (including Q&A), and
• Unstructured conversations at tables around the room based upon those present and the topics of interest that emerge.

Potential topics of interest:

• Robotics
• Internet of Things (IOT)
• Arduino, ESP32, or other microprocessors
• RaspberryPi or other single board computers
• Mobile App integration
• Cloud/Web integration
• Alexa / Home Assistant / Siri integration
• Prototyping
• Circuit boards
• 3D printed parts and enclosures
• Building entrepreneurial skills
• Taking an idea to the next step
