Startup Weekend Boulder Education
Oct 6th
“Startup Weekend EDU is a 54-hour incubator where teachers, admins, IT professionals, and entrepreneurs take an idea to make Education better, and rapidly improve upon it throughout the weekend, in order to present a minimally viable product to a panel of judges by Sunday late afternoon. The goal is to make an application that improves or helps Education at any level (K-12 or higher ed). We are pleased to have a panel of prominent business and Education leaders as judges, including CEO & President of Colorado Technology Association, VP Operations for Educause, TechStars, and Charter School Growth Fund. Our mentors draw from Boulder and Denver, all of them from successful IT teams, businesses and education sectors. Early bird registration is $75 until Sept 15, or when tickets are gone! If you are looking to hone your education or entrepreneurship skills, be mentored by amazing people, and have a blast doing it, Startup Weekend EDU is for you!”
CU to host workshop on student identity theft Oct. 10
Oct 4th
The University of Colorado Boulder will hold a student workshop with help from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation on the prevention of identity theft in the college-age population on Oct. 10.
The workshop, hosted by CU Money Sense, is open to all CU-Boulder students and will be held in University Memorial Center room 245 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Students planning to attend should email CUmoneysense@colorado.edu.
Colorado consistently ranks in the top 15 states for identity theft and fraud, with several Colorado cities ranking in the top 10 cities in the nation, according to Erin Foster, communication specialist with CU Money Sense, CU-Boulder’s financial education program for students.
“Our guest speaker from CBI will talk about the real-life impact that identity theft can have on students’ lives,” said Foster. “We want to heighten student awareness about this issue.”
Hazel Heckers of CBI will discuss why students are particularly appealing to identity thieves and what they can do to protect themselves.
Other upcoming CU Money Sense events include:
- “Check Your Credit Report – Drop-in Help from CU Money Sense,” Wednesday, Oct. 17, noon. Email to make an appointment at CUmoneysense@colorado.edu.
- “Living Off-Campus – Everything First-timers Need to Know,” Jan. 24 (time and location to be determined).
- “How to Apply for Financial Aid” (time, date and location to be determined).
