From Knicks in 5 🥇 to Camden bops 🕺 , who could’ve imagined an experience like this‼️

🌞 This summer I spent 8.5 weeks in Buffalo as a summer intern for @ub_cstep to learn the ins and outs of research while building professional skills

👥 However, what started out as a deep dive into academia, quickly transformed into an unforgettable experience with my cohort and friends

🏛️ Tuesday and Thursday mornings were filled with standard class-work to keep us on track with the schedule, a necessary aspect to hold ourselves accountable

👨🏿‍💼 Fridays involved professional workshops that taught me how to be think, behave, and feel like a professional—maturing myself in various ways

🚌 The weekends had us traveling far and wide across the Buffalo area to show us what the city had to offer, interacting with a multitude of cultures and perspectives was a refreshing break from the more structured and rigid grind of research and laboratories 🥼

What does it take to build a digitally literate Western New York?

It starts with access. It grows through education. And it creates pathways to opportunity.

Last week, community leaders, partners, supporters, and advocates joined us for our Open House to see Mission Ignite’s work in action.

From our tech refurbishment process to digital literacy training programs that help students, seniors, veterans, New Americans, and job seekers build the skills they need to succeed.

As Executive Director Christine Carr-Barmasse shared, Mission Ignite serves as an “on-ramp”, connecting individuals with the technology, training, and confidence they need to take the next step toward their goals.

And as Board Member Nick Gianadda reminded us:
“Digital literacy is now basic literacy, and we as part of the Corporate Community need to contribute our Computers as we refresh our technology. Those computers become part of the tools for technicians learning how to fix and repair in the manufacturing process, as well as the end product to invest those computers into the digital literacy training. It’s a WIN/WIN!”

Thank you to everyone who joined us, toured our facility, shared conversations, and helped celebrate the people, partnerships, and possibilities that continue to move our community forward!

Today, our summer research interns had the wonderful opportunity to visit TechBuffalo and learn firsthand about innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership in Western New York’s growing technology ecosystem.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Jeffrey Botteron, President and Chief Executive Officer of TechBuffalo, for sharing his insights on the region’s innovation economy and the importance of building a thriving technology community.

We also thank Celine Krzan, Clinical Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship, Operations Management and Strategy at the University at Buffalo School of Management, for her inspiring presentation on entrepreneurship, strategic thinking, and the skills needed to succeed in today’s evolving business landscape.

Experiences like these bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, providing our students with valuable perspectives from leaders who are shaping the future of our region.

Thank you to TechBuffalo and our distinguished speakers for making this an engaging, educational, and memorable experience for our students.

The AI Tech Jam recently brought students and educators from 11 area schools to the UB School of Management to learn, build and imagine what's next.

The event gave high school students hands-on experience creating products with AI while teachers participated in professional development sessions focused on AI literacy and classroom applications. Together, they explored how AI can enhance learning, creativity and problem-solving.

Thank you to the participating schools for joining us and to @techbuffalo716 for co-hosting with us!
