We’re taking a much-needed holiday hiatus to rest, recharge, and reflect on an incredible year of learning, building, and community.
Wishing all of you a joyful and peaceful holiday season—however you celebrate—and a bright start to 2025.
We’ll be back soon, energized and ready to dive into the exciting work ahead. Stay tuned!
—The Studio B3 Team
We are excited to share that the Studio B3 product SumRise will be featured at the 2024 TOP Product Showcase on December 11.
This year, Studio B3 joined forces with the U.S. Census Bureau, the Department of Education, and an extraordinary cohort of public and private partners as part of a 12-week technology sprint as part of The Opportunity Project (TOP). Our mission: to build a digital tool to strengthen the STEM educator workforce.
The result is a product designed to bring clarity to complex, school-level data – helping career-switchers and policymakers understand where new STEM educators are most likely to thrive and where support is most urgently needed.
We’re so proud to present our work as one of the featured teams at the TOP 2024 Product Showcase hosted virtually by the U.S. Census Bureau on Wednesday, December 11. This event will highlight digital tools built in response to this year’s critical problem statements, including those supporting indigenous communities, education equity, and beyond.
Join us to explore the possibilities of open data, civic tech, and collaboration done right. RSVP here → https://top2024showcase.splashthat.com

The Opportunity Project is a sprint-based innovation program that brings together technologists, government, and communities to rapidly prototype digital products – powered by federal open data – that addresses real-world challenges facing people across the country.
In collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, the Department of Education, and professionals from across the education ecosystem, Studio B3 developed SumRise to help strengthen the STEM educator workforce.
SumRise empowers both career-switchers and policymakers by providing insight into the environments at over 100,000 schools nationwide. Through a set of curated, school-level metrics, users can evaluate the financial, institutional, and community factors that shape the experience of STEM educators.
Whether you’re exploring a transition into teaching or working to support workforce development, SumRise offers a powerful lens into where support is most needed – and where it can make the biggest difference.
