We're still buzzing from the collaboration, networking, and energetic brainstorming at last week's 2024 Ad Astra Technology Summit! Kansas’ brightest minds came together to share ideas, mentor one another, and push the boundaries of innovation. A major highlight was hearing Bill Nye remind us all to stay curious and keep exploring the wonders of science and technology. 🌟 🚀 This year's summit may be over, but our work isn't! We encourage you to get involved—visit www.flagshipkansas.tech to learn more or send us a message to stay connected year-round.

What an incredible week. FlagshipKansas.Tech hosted Bill Nye at the Ad Astra Technology Summit, and I had the privilege of speaking with him one-on-one. He was very genuine, charismatic and funny. His moderated chat was engaging and had all of us wishing for more time. Even Nye! As the incoming Chair of the FlagshipKansas.Tech board, I spoke about what we've accomplished and the important work still to be done. The day was packed with engaging sessions and an impressive lineup of speakers and panelists, bringing together all the key influencers in the Kansas tech industry from educators and tech professionals to policy makers and community development organizations. There's so much more to share about this event and people to thank for their contributions - too much to fit into one post. More soon! #adastrasummit #tech #kansastech

Who knew there was a strategy behind the bowtie? Traditional ties can hold you back in the lab and we're too #futurefocused for that! Troy Tabor did a wonderful job moderating today's chat with #BillNye and even wore a bowtie to match. #adastrasummit #KansasTech
