We recently attended a community day at BRIC for Child Rescue Coalition. If you’re not familiar with the organization, it’s equal parts impressive and terrifying. Child Rescue Coalition is a non-profit that rescues children from sexual abuse by building technology for law enforcement, free of charge, to track, arrest and prosecute child predators.
Another development working on a partnership with the museum is the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC), west of Interstate 95 on Yamato Road. The former birthplace of IBM’s personal computer, the campus now is being revamped to be a centerpiece not only of business but also of culture, according to Angelo Bianco, managing partner of Crocker Partners, which owns BRiC. Lippman said talks are underway to install a sculpture outside the main building.
At the home of the old Boca Raton economy, the talk was about the new Boca Raton economy. Two weeks ago, Crocker Partners – which owns the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) — hosted a discussion titled “Leading the Way in STEM Education.” STEM is the longtime acronym for science, technology, engineering and medicine. A new version adds Arts and calls it STEAM.
