Race with the sun
Last year, the OSU team won the race, and it also got the sportsmanship award for helping other schools make it through that first crucial lap. This year, the team will defend its title, and speed is not as important as distance. The goal is to outlast the competition. OSU's car completed 193 laps in the 2013 race. The winner must complete at least one lap after the last competitor's car stops and runs out of fuel — or electrons, in this case. Ashland Daily Tidings
Girls' skills are needed in tech
ChickTech is based in Portland but plans to be nationwide by 2016. At ChickTech, women like Jennifer Davidson (CS alum) and ChickTech founder Janice Levenhagen-Seeley (CpE alum), give girls a chance. A jumping off point. A view into a world that can also be theirs. opensource.com
NOT NEWS, BUT OF INTEREST
Bonamici works to restore lost wave energy funds
A wave energy amendment sponsored by an Oregon Congressional rep has passed through the House. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, a Portland Democrat, was one of a handful of leaders looking to boost wave energy research funding by $9 million. Portland Business Journal
Wave Energy Engineering for Middle Schools
If you want to get young people interested in engineering, it’s never too early to plant that seed. Not every kid has an engineer in the family, so it’s important that schools provide hands-on experience. That’s why I’m excited about the Wave Energy Engineering project created by Oregon State University. Bill Hanshumaker, Chief Scientist at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center Visitor Center, and Alan Perrill, a volunteer at the center, designed a wave energy device that’s made from off-the-shelf parts and can be constructed by a middle school student. engineering.com
Portland company unveils new tool as open source community converges on Rose City
Next week, thousands of Open Source experts and users will be Portland for the O’Reilly Open Source Convention. Local startup GraphAlchemist is hoping to tap into some of that excitement.
