How would you positively impact a billion people within ten years? How
would you use science and technology to address grand challenges such
as water, healthcare, and education? Singularity University invites
you to visit the “Singularity University Café”
(http://makerfaire.com/pub/e/3654) at this weekend’s Maker Faire to
learn about these grand challenges, and hear how new technologies are
empowering teams to work on some of these most pressing issues.
Visitors to the Singularity University Café - located at Midway M20 –
can also enter for a chance to win a spot in an upcoming Singularity
University Exponential Technologies Executive Program valued at
$15,000.

MAKING ITS MARK AT MAKER FAIRE

Singularity University Café will illustrate the goals and vision of
the university with on-going presentations by two exciting companies
born from last year’s Graduate Studies Program – CiviGuard and
Gettaround. The CiviGuard team will discuss their latest products
focused on dramatically improving crisis communications for emergency
and disaster response. The Gettaround team will discuss how their
person-to-person car sharing community can positively impact the
climate, and demonstrate their award-winning car controlling mobile
application. In addition, several thought-leading speakers will
discuss some of the topics taught at SU, ranging from the latest in
medicine and robotics to energy and 3D building construction.
“In a fun and visually impressive fashion, Maker Faire shows what can
happen when the current limits of science, technology, and design are
pushed,” said Salim Ismail, Executive Director of Singularity
University. “As Maker Faire has proven before, one’s imagination is
truly the only limit to some of the greatest innovation. We’re looking
forward to participating in our first Maker Faire, and sharing the
ideas and achievements of SU students, faculty and associates with the
Maker community.”

A CHANCE TO WIN AN EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME

Taught by world-class faculty and some of the leading minds in their
respective fields, the Executive Program is an intensive education
designed to prepare executives and entrepreneurs to face the dynamic
business realities of today and tomorrow. Held quarterly, Singularity
University offers its Exponential Technologies Executive Program to a
very limited group of C-Level executive participants. Any Maker Faire
attendee can register at the Singularity University Café for a chance
to win a seat, including on-site accommodations at NASA Ames. A winner
will be selected randomly from all registrations received at the
Singularity University Café from 10:30 AM on Saturday May 22, 2010 to
6:30 PM on Sunday May 23, 2010. The winner will be announced on
Tuesday, June 1, 2010 on the Singularity University webpage
(http://singularityu.org), via Twitter (@singularityu) and on the
official Singularity University Facebook page
(www.facebook.com/singularityu).
The imaginative and innovative Maker Faire takes place at the San
Mateo County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 22 and Sunday, May 23, 2010.
