BEST ACCELERATORS IN PITTSBURGH, RANKED
Previously Published on Benzinga Money The Steel City earned its title during the Industrial Revolution — a time when there was such a need for workers that the entire world grew interested in the Three Rivers. The city was booming, and new businesses were being born across the region. Unfortunately, that boom didn’t, and businesses began to falter. In a city once known for its heavy manufacturing, industry would return with a vengeance — but in a different form. Google would move in. Duolingo set up shop.

Could this Smart Mask be a game-changer, as children return to the classroom?
PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED ON NEWSBREAK Slated to be the “World’s First Nex-Gen Technology Mask,” NFL Hall-of-Famer, Champ Bailey, has teamed up with Modern Radio, Inc. to launch an Indiegogo campaign for the scaled production of a new wearable that could have our kids back in the classroom much sooner than later. Using next-generation technologies, this smart mask would do more than stop airborne particles from infecting the student body. Once adopted, it would monitor the personal air quality and temperature of each student, tracking daily use and compliance across the greater K12 environment.

Over the years, our favorite birthday venue would transform before our very eyes, serving a newer generation and doing away with our bless-ed jungle gyms — all while adding touch screens into the mix. And, then… COVID struck. Amidst national shutdowns and closures, Chuck E. Cheese would go on to see its greatest transformation, yet. Concerned that virus…

How newborns change your DISC personality
READ THE FULL ARTICLE ON DISCINSIGHTS BY PEOPLEKEYS Fall has finally arrived – and so have those babies we’ve had our watchful eyes on all year!

Augmented Reality | Bringing interactive reading & learning tools to young explorers in real-time
PUBLISHED ON MEDIUM If you grew up watching Nick Jr., you already know how much of an impact interactive television shows, such as Blue’s Clues, can have on a young mind. Our children feel as if the characters on the show are actually their friends, and they quickly embrace the second-person experience, as a means for early-learning education. They become like sponges — easily engaged and encouraged by conversation. Intrigued by curiosity, they thirst for exploration. And while they quickly absorb the material and storylines presented before them, there is a huge divide between reality and storytelling that continues to leave a void out in the open. Augmented reality is…
