JOIN US!

Our March B3G (Brains, Business & Beverages) event will be focusing on LinkedIn, the social media platform centered on careers, job searching and networking.

We are certainly not sponsored by LinkedIn, but we recognize that many people use it for their job search. The question is, are you getting the most out of the platform? Is your Linked In profile working for you? What can you do to increase your success with job searching on the platform? How can you find jobs? What can you do to increase your visibility on the platform?

What other platforms do you use to find jobs? Please share your own tips and bring questions! Be prepared to (gently) roast each other’s Linked In profiles. So pour yourself your favorite beverage and join us!

Games will follow.

This event is open to the public | $10 admission

TOP Product Showcase

by Yuko Veatch | Dec 1, 2024 | Events, Projects, Updates

SumRise to be featured:

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

TOP MVP Summit

Studio B3 is proud to present SumRise at the TOP (The Opportunity Project) MVP Summit on November 7, 2024.

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.
