Though we think of ourselves as profound storytellers, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club also recognize that art takes on many forms of expression. From poetry to photography and everything in between, we have a prolific appreciation of art, whether it’s through the impact art has on communities, murals we’ve painted in The Clubhouse, or anything we’ve spotted around the neighborhood.

Are you noticing yourself feeling awkward in social situations lately? You’re not alone. If you’re like most people across the globe, you have been deprived of spontaneous social interactions for about a year now because of the pandemic. To help bring people’s public speaking skills out of atrophy, we invited Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club members to a socially-distanced evening at The Clubhouse for Elevator Pitch Practice.

Meet Asha Morton, founder of Launch Advocacy Brand. When she isn’t helping minority-owned startups, you can find her out and about exploring new places to eat.

Every week at The Clubhouse, we pose a question on our big conversation board about what’s been on the radar for our members lately. This is designed to not only spark conversations and encourage collaboration, but to also allow us to better know our community members in a fun and unique way. Last week, we were curious about how our members monitor their health and fitness.

When most of us think about inventions like the lightbulb, air conditioning, and telephones, we often think of reputable names like Thomas Edison, Willis Carrier, and Alexander Graham Bell. However, there are many important Black inventors often overlooked in history.

With so much emphasis on, and advancements within, the biomedical industry, largely in part due to COVID-19, we wanted to get a better understanding of the current state – as well as the growth potential and future – of this specialized field. So, we invited four Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club members from Technology Enterprise Park (TEP), Centergy One, Tech Square Research Building (TSRB), and Square on Fifth (SQ5) to safely meet on a midtown rooftop over dinner last Thursday evening to exchange ideas and discuss the seemingly endless possibilities and opportunities.

Meet Blake Tiede, a Graduate Research Engineer at Georgia Tech’s Aerospace Systems Design Lab and recent panelist at our TSQATL’s Space Soirée last fall. When Blake isn’t researching and modeling groundbreaking hybrid electric systems for small commuter aircrafts, he can be found playing aerospace-related computer games, doing drone photography, and exploring Atlanta.

With his penchant for storytelling, the late Steve Jobs is regarded by many as the master presenter. So, what about his presentations made them so compelling? Whether you have a quick 60 seconds to pitch yourself during an elevator ride, or you’re preparing a slide deck for an upcoming investor meeting, here are three elements of a strong pitch or presentation that informs, inspires, and entertains.

Last Thursday, we celebrated the birthday of renowned inventor, Thomas Edison, with a Cocktail Talk to raise our glasses (or in this case, plastic lightbulbs) to his greatest inventions and discuss which ones were the most profound and why.

Starlink has captured the headlines as of late, not only because of their recent (and continual) satellite launches, but also due to the release of their initial beta service to the general public. But what exactly is Starlink and why do more Americans want it in their home, versus 5G?

Inspired by the groundhog’s search for its shadow on Groundhog Day, we popped up at Centergy One’s lobby and challenged our members at Tech Square with visual conundrums.

Meet George N. Tzintzarov, a PhD student of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. John D. Cressler. In his role, he is responsible for exploring how the harsh, radiation-rich outer space environment negatively affects optical systems. When he isn’t conducting his research, you can find George looking at stars and planets with his telescope or doing woodworking projects.
