Call for Summer Interns!

by Yuko Veatch | Feb 24, 2025 | Projects, Updates

What are you doing this summer?

We’re looking for curious, analytical minds to join us in expanding an early-stage data product designed to support workforce development. This is a great opportunity to work on a real-world impact project using public data, research insights, and creative analytics.

Interns may explore data-driven approaches – including (but not limited to) machine learning, visualization, and modeling – to help us deepen our understanding of the environments that best support new STEM educators as well as workers across several interest areas.

If you’re interested in applying your skills to meaningful work this summer – and learning along the way – get in touch!

Open to students and recent grads with backgrounds in data science, statistics, computer science, or related fields. Bonus points for curiosity and creativity.

Happy 2025!

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.
