Hands on Tech plans to connect Ann Arbor’s new economy with kids

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 | Source: Concentrate
The Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum and local new economy companies. Two great tastes that taste great together... to borrow a marketing phrase.

Yeah, they seem like a mismatch, but the Hands-On Tech Event hopes to make obvious the natural synergies between the two.

"We think there is a natural connection there," says Michael Cole, one of the organizers of the event and president of the Technology Industry Group for Bank of Ann Arbor. "This is where the kids go to get their first taste of science before they go onto become scientists and engineers."

Not only do kids and tech go together, it's an opportunity for the Hands-on Museum to introduce attendees to their myriad resources.

The event, set for May 30 between 6-9 p.m., is expected to introduce the museum to new economy entrepreneurs and businesses as both a resource and networking opportunity. After all, Ann Arbor is known as a kid-friendly town, so what better way to merge its strengths --kids and high tech innovation-- than to highlight them into one event?

The Hands On Museum is located in downtown and has resources such as meeting rooms that could be used by local companies.
