3:00pm – 6:00pm

TechShop 10100 SW Allen Blvd., Beaverton, OR 97005

MakePDX is getting together again and this time we will have guests from the Micro-Inventors Program of Oregon!

Ever wondered what to do after you came up with that great idea or how to go about selling it or protecting it? MIPO is an organization designed around helping inventors get to that next step!

ABOUT MIPO (http://mipooregon.org)

MIPO provides inventors with consulting, training, and resources that focus on bringing their inventions to market as a means of diversifying Oregon’s economy and increasing opportunities for solutions to societal challenges.

MIPO works with entrepreneurs to move their inventions and conceptional models toward commercialization or licensing ventures. By doing so, local communities will benefit from an increase in higher-paying jobs and better opportunities for products to enter the market that were conceived in Oregon.

By creating these opportunities, Oregon will cultivate an environment of economic and technology innovation that will increase capital investment in Oregon, create more innovative-based enterprises, emphasize job creation, while focusing on socially responsible inventions that bring solutions to our complex societal challenges.

We have a speaker from the Oregon Electric Vehicles Association coming down to talk to us.  The OEVA is a group that meets every month to talk about making and using electric vehicles.

As always, there will be time for every one to show off their projects, and every one who does will get a prize.  And of course there will be drinks and snack to go along with the meeting. If you have a recipe that you really like and want to show off don’t be shy.  Cooking is making to after all.

For the past 7 weeks, Famous Ubergeek Chick Jeri Ellsworth and I [George Sanger] have been playing, having fun, making prototypes, discussing creativity, making music, and webcasting the whole thing as The Fat Man and Circuit Girl. Now that Jeri has edited and posted Episode 7, I think we’ve got it ready to announce to y’all, the Smart Creative people who frequent O’Reilly.
