The intersection of 3D printing and education has brought about some amazing things. 3D Printers in the classroom have changed classrooms 10 fold since the time their 2d predecessors made it into classrooms in the 1980s. I personally have vivid memories of the creations we made with Printshop and a dot matrix printer. Can somebody [...]
It's no secret in mere units Android is far outpacing the iPhone, simply because there are more units to choose from and the point of entry is much lower, in some cases free. Apple tried to compete on the cheap side with the iPhone 5C but when push came to shove there wasn't much value [...]
Every now and then, something so simple comes along that just blows our minds. Dosing Dials is definitely one of those things. The number of accidental overdoses amongst children is at an all time high. While many of these cases involve self-ingestion of medicines - a child taking drugs on their own - there is [...]

Essentially, Bucketwish is an online platform, through which users can share their goals, wishes and bucket lists in a social media setting: Bucketwish.com is a social media platform designed to organize and enhance gift giving for traditional and [...]
Next to Bluetooth speakers and wireless headphones there are enough portable battery chargers at this year's International CES to power a small country for a year. They come in all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of functionality. But, it's a group of guys from Provo Utah (yes Utah) who took the time to listen [...]
WakaWaka manufacturers extremely high-efficiency, low-cost solar lamps and solar chargers. Thus, WakaWaka - 'Shine Bright' in Swahili - is an apt name for the product. At CES, WakaWaka's CEO answered a few of our questions and even showed us their newest product.
For whatever reason - we haven't been able to figure it out - there was a proliferation of daily deal platforms/apps/websites at One Spark. There was a ton of variety in these projects, and some really great offerings, and one of them, Eatrhguy, won the popular vote in the technology category. However, the most interesting [...]
QuickComet is a pretty interesting platform. In a nutshell, QuickComet is an investment education platform/app with tons and tons of walkthroughs and tutorials. As we said in our One Spark preview on QuickComet, there are currently a ton of different investment platforms, but not many that are solely focused on education. Enter QuickComet. The investor education [...]
During the One Spark Festival, we had a chance to speak with a great many education-based creators, owing in part to the creation of the #EdSpark venue. There were some really awesome proposals, including Flip Our Class. However, while there were a lot of education-based projects, there were only a couple really creative software/platform products. [...]
Anther application that we were looking forward to checking out at One Spark was Event Socially.

EventSocially is the authoritative source [...]
These days it seems that there is a different social network for everything in your life. Facebook for friends and family, LinkedIn for work. Twitter for news, and whatever else you may follow. It can get to be a little overwhelming, and at times pointless. Every new social network that comes along claims to be [...]

As more and more crowdfunding platforms are popping up almost daily, it is hard to find any new or unique approaches. However, ArtStarter really stands out for several reasons. It is only fitting that we came across a really inventive crowdfunding platform at the 'World's First Crowdfunding Festival.' ArtStarter, as the name gives away, is [...]
One of the more interesting projects that we came across at One Spark 2014 was Two Way Resume. The main idea behind Two Way Resume is that paper, black-and-white resumes are both dull and incomplete. Essentially, Two Way Resume is an update to the paper resume. Using the platform, users can transform the paper resume [...]
Just the other day, I was talking with one of my friends about group messaging. I know, fascinating topic of conversation. Anyhow, we reached the conclusion that was not really a good solution. The stock SMS apps of both Android and iOS are funky, and make it difficult to maintain long-standing group message rooms, leaving [...]

Thanksgiving is becoming an extremely popular day for mobile users as records continue to be broken while people are with their family enjoying their large meals.

The NBA Playoffs are officially underway with many second games of the first round already played by the time this story posts. Regardless of what team you absolutely love it's a good possibility at the end of the playoffs we may see the same championship pairing as last year. My team is the Robert Pera [...]
The term “Crowdfunding,” has become 2012’s clichéd, yet poorly defined, term for entrepreneurs to obtain “easy” startup capital from angel investors.
The advent of the cloud has drastically changed the way that we interact with computers. The cloud has, essentially, made mobile storage - things like USB flash drives, and external hard drives - unnecessary. That is, unless you are storing a huge amount of files. In that case, you have to pay for space upgrades. There [...]
