Husky Innovate Talk with Innovator- Jacob Soter
Michigan Tech graduate Jake Soter EE/CPE ’19, MBA ’20 observed that flag warning systems at beaches weren’t updated right away and knew that swimmers weren’t getting important information on days with strong rip-currents and high waves. He identified a value proposition and together with his advisor, Dr. Andrew Barnard, created a technological solution to address this problem. From there – he launched a new business. Come hear about Jake’s innovation pathway, how he validated his value proposition, what he’s learned along the way and what’s next for his business.

Artist Presentation by Ashanté Kindle and Khari Turner: Copper Planted Seeds
Ashanté Kindle and Khari Turner come to Michigan Tech to discuss their joint exhibit, Copper Planted Seeds, currently on display at Finlandia University until October 5. Their exhibit seeks common ground between the history of the Keweenaw Peninsula and their life experiences as Black American artists. Kindle and Khari create at the border of abstractionism and realism, and the theme of their exhibit is “sisu,” or human grit and determination, in the face of daunting circumstances.
All are invited. The artists will begin with a presentation on their life, art and influences, followed by time for audience questions.
For further information on the presentation at Michigan Tech, contact vpdi@mtu.edu. For the Finlandia University Gallery, contact gallery@finlandia.edu.
