Ignite Phoenix #5 went down on November 3rd at the Tempe Center for the Arts, and it was an absolute blast! We had a t-shirt shooting robot on stage from the Falcon Robotics team at Carl Hayden High School, the Surfside IV playing on the patio, and even KWSS doing a remote broadcast.
The point of it all, of course, are the presentations, which were incredible from first to last. If you didn’t make it, you missed learning about improvised bagel holders, bat nursing, history of punctuation, ballroom dancing, the importance of the Transformers, and much more. We’re working to convert the videos and upload them to our YouTube channel, which should be done within the week.
Pictures are already up on Flickr, and more keep coming in. Please tag all your videos and images with “ignitephx”, and on Flickr add them to our photo group.
Ignite Phoenix #6 has been announced, and will be at the Mesa Arts Center on Tuesday, March 30th. Submissions are already open. If you can’t wait that long for more Ignite goodness, check out the Developer Ignite #2 coming up November 11th! And of course there’s a bunch of other amazing goodness going on in the Valley this month, which you can check out as part of Geek Week.
Lastly, a big shout out to all our presenters (contact them!), our sponsors (engage them!), and our volunteers (love them!), without whom Ignite #5 would not have been such a success!
