Cincinnati Blacks In Technology

BDPA hosts ‘Cincinnati Blacks In Technology’ to collaborate with the vibrant community of like-minded technology professionals of color in our city. The doors are wide open for those folks who passionate about all things technical. Our meetups encourage fun, socializing and high level talks on a variety of technology topics. IT recruiters and IT job seekers will share information in a face-to-face setting.

Our topic this month is: "Gaming the System: The Gamification of Education, Entrepreneurship and the Economy"

Games can ignite imagination, inspire intellect and inform individuality. Games are also drivers of innovation. The Rose of Education Organization is designing a System of Games with the specific goal of identifying, nurturing, recruiting and training candidates for its Space Tourism Operations. If Gamification is the Future, what kind of games and sports will humanity play in Space? Who will sell and service the technological systems necessary to support such an industry? Can the Gamification of Education help increase the number of minority graduates in STEM-related fields? These are some of the questions that will be explored and demonstrated by our guest speaker. All participants will have a chance to play a new programming language game REAAL NAMES - http://www.slideshare.net/BDPAFoundation/reaal-names-game - during the meetup.

Our guest speaker, Anthony Hall, founder of The Rose of Education, is investigating the use of language to develop new technologies for communications, education, energy, security, defense, propulsion, automotive and robotics. More applications and sectors are being identified. Hall feels that the result of his efforts will be a bio/technical interface industry, where technology will be used to focus, speed and multiply our natural abilities - cognitive and physical. The Rose of Education is starting at the beginning, with Language. We look forward to engaging with all Cincinnati Blacks In Technology attendees about the impact that the ‘next frontier’ can have in the greater Cincinnati area for technology professionals.
