While no one would wish COVID-19 on even their worst enemy, there still have been some positives that came from it.

The subject of cybernetics and superhuman capabilities empowered by technology are a favorite topic of conversation here at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club. If you know TSQATL Social Club member, Donald Innocent-Ike, you’ve probably overheard him (and seen him light up!) when talking about technology that exists on the boundaries of futurism and fiction. For comic book character fans like him, the Iron Man suit is the perfect embodiment of this topic. So, out of curiosity for how fellow engineers, researchers, and entrepreneurs at Tech Square would build their own personal Iron Man suit, Donald hosted a Cocktail Talk at the Centergy One lobby on a late Wednesday afternoon with libations in tow.

With spring in full bloom, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club have been appreciating the warmer weather, while simultaneously recognizing the unfortunate effects of climate change that come along with it. And we’re not the only ones.

So, we put on both our environmentalist and technologist hats and headed over to Technology Enterprise Park (TEP) to enjoy the sunshine and host a Coffee Talk around this exact topic.
