Late August means more than the (to some, early) arrival of all things pumpkin and other fall flavors. It’s also the start of a new school year (and football!). And while our recent activations have proved otherwise, the summer is typically a bit slower with the absence of students bustling around Tech Square and The Clubhouse. So, we were beyond excited to team up with local student housing, Square on Fifth (SQ5), so they could use our 9,000 square foot facility as the check-in site for new residents.

In order to highlight creativity and connect community members from all over Midtown and the greater Atlanta area, Chantelle Rytter created the Parliament of Owls lantern parade back in 2016. Described as “elegantly weird,” the event is a black and white owl-themed community lantern parade featuring a Second Line Band and parade-goers marching down Peachtree Street at night. Not one to miss out on the fun – or a chance to spark connections – we invited Chantelle to The Clubhouse to assist members in making lanterns of their very own.

Chainlink Labs joined us once again in Tech Square, this time hosting a panel discussion around the tremendous influence that Web3 is having in Atlanta, both culturally and professionally.

For those in the startup and entrepreneurial space, the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is an all-too-familiar name. As Georgia’s technology business incubator, the organization assists in ideation through commercial success and everything in between, with their latest efforts including involvement in a series of events across metro Atlanta. And since ATDC takes residency right in Tech Square’s Centergy One building, we knew it made perfect sense to team up with them for an unforgettable evening.

On a late Friday afternoon in mid-July, Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club members and other local communities gathered at The Clubhouse for an esports-themed Fireside Chat, hosted by AXR Edge.

With the inflation rate being the highest it’s been in 40 years, discussions around the stock market, investing, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), interest rates, and more are all abuzz. Forever focused on tech and the ways of the future, we were excited to join Chainlink Labs in hosting a Cocktail Talk at The Clubhouse to dive deeper into the cryptocurrency world.

At the tail-end of May we wanted to honor Mental Health Awareness Month in a paws-itive manner. So we teamed up with Accenture and Happy Tails Pet Therapy to showcase the amazing mental and physical health benefits of pet therapy!

To close out the end of May, which is also National Inventors Month, we celebrated in style by hosting a Brains in a Bar activation centered around the advancements made in the 1920s and the technology that we hope to see in the 2020s.

With green initiatives such as the usage of electric vehicles to help our carbon footprint and creating technology to reduce energy costs and consumption being top of mind as of late, we thought none better than to host a Power Meal that followed suit.

With the increasingly high blood shortage on the mind of many healthcare professionals, we popped up at Centergy One with Zach Aten, Founder of Grassroots Labs, to question our community about their experience seeking healthcare.

As politicians battled the polls during the Georgia primaries, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) were at The Clubhouse with American Red Cross, battling the blood shortage.

Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club and AXR Edge teamed up with 100 Girls of Code on a late Saturday morning to host an exclusive hands-on gaming experience at The Clubhouse.

On the afternoon of Friday, May 6, Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club opened its Clubhouse doors to welcome community members and guests to join in on an exclusive networking event centered around the Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup festival.

From poetry to photography and everything in between, we have a prolific appreciation of art. To highlight this, we’ve implemented a “Creative Corner” series – articles and social posts showcasing the recent projects and collections from our community members. This week we’re featuring Nordine Sebkhi, Inventor of MagTrack.

In honor of Friday, April 22 being Earth Day, we thought none better than to take a deep dive into the current and future impacts on climate. So, we invited four energy and electric vehicle (EV) experts to serve as panelists for our Fireside Chat: EV Effects on the Environment.
