As the MiKE team searches for ways to create innovation in Milwaukee, we often come across articles about cool new technologies or videos of inspiring speakers. Here are a few including a New York Times article that features a light bulb app made right here in Wisconsin, and video of a sixth-grade developer who wants an app club at schools, much like a French or drama club. He's a really good speaker for being so young so check it out. Finally, skip the change, just swipe! The Salvation Army Bell Ringers have gone digital.

There are a number of ways to get involved in the MiKE community.  These are just a few:

Startup MKE December Meetup @ The Hudson, 310 N. Broadway

Join us for StartupMKE's December meetup. We're still working on our line-up of MKE Startups that will be presenting but we wanted to put this out there so you can start to save the date.

We can already tell you that Joe Poeschl of Junto (an online incubator + crowdfunding site) will be presenting at the meetup learn more about them at: http://thejun.to/

We are also looking forward to author Stacy Riedel, a true entrepreneur in her own right, who will be speaking about an author's path to becoming published. The story of the writers' path to success is almost parallel to that of a startup company's.

And, of course, we'll be providing free beer at this meetup event!
