I’m not going to try to summarize this one because I’d get it all wrong. Looks incredibly valuable though!

Possibly the most useful demo for me: Skyway.run . Navigation app for the Minneapolis skyways. Did you know downtown Minneapolis has 9.5 miles of skyways connecting most of the buildings? And unfortunately they’re pretty confusing when you’re in them!

My favorite project at #minnedemo41 so far: ZIMS Taxon Profiles for helping zoos manage endangered animals. They can see all the details for endangered animals all over the world, like specific medical histories.

Third #Minnedemo41 project: Coursecounter by Carl Willis. For tracking your continuing ed credits (CISSP?) www.coursecounter.com

Back in the old social media days the world would've been flooded with #minnedemo tweets tonight. Looks like what conversation there is, is happening here? What a great organization serving the Twin Cities all these years!

First project: Gluestick by Abby Allen. Take a picture of craft supplies and it will give your kid a craft project to do. www.gluestick.app #minnedemo41

Creativity requires inspiration. ...And there is no better place to get it than play. Key ingredients? Joy, Whimsy, New People, and the Element of Surprise. "Start playing around and get to work!" Quote from @ampt.bsky.social here at @minnestar.org #minnebar!
