| | | | A new day (and tracks?) for dirt bikes riders Hey Baltimore, and happy Friday. March is almost over, and the 40-degree weather might be, too. So before you head into your weekend, we've got your roundup of local news from the tech scene and beyond: Mayor Scott today declared that March 25 is now B-360 Day, which honors the nationally acclaimed local organization, founder Brittany Young and their work to channel the city's dirt bike culture into STEM opportunities. On top of that, the org has launched the #Ride4Change capital campaign, which aims to raise $10 million so B-360 can build a new campus with classrooms, makers' spaces, an auto body shop, dirt bike riding tracks and more. A statement referred to this potential facility as "the nation's first ever dirt bike park and education campus." If you missed yesterday's newsletter: The Enoch Pratt Free Library and Baltimore Digital Equity Coalition this week announced that it will distribute free Chromebooks to students and families involved in library programs. Dell Technologies provided the orgs with 1,000 Chromebooks, which a press release said recipients can get after completing a digital training and literacy program. If you missed my "Top Boy" references in a newsletter earlier this week (and none of you have responded to me, so I have to assume...): Trade reps from the US and UK held the first joint Dialogues on the Future of Atlantic Trade in Baltimore on Monday and Tuesday. The trade ambassadors took time those days to visit local tech mainstay Fearless' office, as well as meet with each other and Baltimore's civic and economic leaders. Healthtrax- and LifeBridge Health's 1501 Health incubator welcomed seven companies into its second cohort, with one (Ryse Health) having roots in Baltimore and the rest coming from New York, California and the UK. A reader, responding to a prior newsletter that mentioned this thread about people switching into tech without college degrees, noted that the BioTechnical Institute's lab associates program is accepting applicants. The program, whose next cohort starts in May, leads to jobs and internships in lab science positions, as well as credits that can be applied to a Baltimore City Community College degree in biotech. Have any news that we might've missed? Feel free to contact baltimore@technical.ly. Otherwise, we'll see you back here again Monday.
