Meet Cuong Bui, a Materials Coordinator at VERO Biotech, and recent winner for naming the first-ever community-themed beer for Technology Enterprise Park (TEP). Self-proclaimed to be causing “general mischief” when he isn’t ensuring there’s a constant supply of build materials for production, you can also find him working with Toys for Tots.

On Friday, April 16, TEDxGeorgiaTech (TEDxGT) invited five speakers from across the country to share their insight and ideas for their Sustainability Salon.

While no one would wish COVID-19 on even their worst enemy, there still have been some positives that came from it. There’s been less air pollution and fewer traffic accidents due to stay-at-home orders, we’ve gotten [virtually] closer to our loved ones, and the most important benefit – you can now watch all eight of the Academy Award nominees for best picture from the comfort of your own home!

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. Microsoft is on the same page, with their AI for Earth initiative centered around providing cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) tools to those working to solve global environmental challenges. 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.

This week we are featuring Shruti Vedula, a Georgia Tech student and Director of Marketing for Startup Exchange (SX).

So, we invited Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club members (and guests!) over to Centergy One early on April 1 for a Coffee Talk to discuss the latest EVs coming onto the scene – and for a chance to win their very own Tesla Model X.
