One of BAT's live tracking maps - this one is from Ironman Canada up in Whistler, BC.
The idea for BAT was born as Founder and CEO Seth Bibler was training for, and competing in, his first Ironman triathlon. While these 12-17-hour races are hard on the athletes, Seth was surprised to learn how stressful they are for families and friends. Trying to be at the right place on the 140-mile course to cheer on their athlete as they biked or ran by was a nightmare.

W
ith a degree in computer science and engineering from Oregon State, and years of working at Microsoft under his belt, Seth knew there had to be a better way, and with that BAT was born! Working off cell phone and GPS signals, BAT racers carry a small clip-on beacon that allows their fans to see exactly where they are on the course at any point.

To learn more about how BAT is combining coding and racing, check out their website at www.BAT.live

What's more fun than just playing video games? Learning how to hack them, of course, and longtime CreositySpace partner Embedit Electronics is providing tools and kits to help kids do just that. Robert and Brian have a goal to make physical computing—that is interacting with your computer programs and games—easy to get into and accessible to everyone. 

Their introductory product—Circuit Playground Inventor's Kit—is a great way to introduce kids to the world of coding. The Circuit Playground can be programmed using Scratch. Scratch is a free "drag and drop" programming language that helps kids learn the concepts behind coding without having to worry about all the formatting and syntax details. Check it out here.

For more advanced programmers Embedit’s flagship PiSoC product and accompanying project suggestions are a great way for kids to take their skills to the next level. Visit them out at www.embeditelectronics.com.

CreositySpace welcomes Chordata Quads to the CS community. Chordata Quads is focused on designing “first person viewer” racing drones and mini-quads using renewable composites (like recycled carbon fiber) that are stronger and lighter than the competition. Chad and Alex have developed new composite materials, that Alex makes in Tennessee, while Chad designs the drones and software in Washington.

They have a number of different models in the pipeline including a product line of drones that will be able to communicate with each other and perform functions as a team. To learn more about Chordata Quads and their drone technology check them out on twitter @ChordataQuads.

CreositySpace welcomes PolyDrop to the CS community. PolyDrop has developed an innovative conductive polymer additive for coatings, textiles, floor and electronic applications. For example, industry coating additives, such as metallic based fillers and carbon- based nanomaterials, are typically highly colored requiring very high weight percent loading that can reduce the overall performance of the coating. 
​
PolyDrop has created a non-metal, lightweight conductive polymer additive that can be put into existing coatings at a lower loading improving the performance of the coating. To learn more about PolyDrop and their polymer technology check out their website at www.PolyDrop.net
