  • Gooooooal! How MLS Scores with Culture, Security and Technology

    Gooooooal! How MLS Scores with Culture, Security and Technology
    Aug 15 2024
    To many people sports is a religion. But among the faithful, one sport stands out with more than 3.5 billion followers globally (and growing): soccer, a.k.a. football. So, what’s the appeal? And what’s behind its success?

    Thanks to Major League Soccer, passion for the sport continues to grow in the US. The League introduced world-class soccer to the US and Canada in 1996 with 10 teams—which has grown to 29 (and expanding to 30 in 2025)! In addition to the teams, the talent and the game itself—many people, processes and technologies work behind the scenes to contribute to soccer’s success.

    On this episode of Connect, we welcome Jeff Stonebreaker, Senior Vice President of Safety and Security at MLS to share his experience working with soccer teams worldwide and discuss how soccer is transcending boundaries on several fronts. We’ll also examine how technology is being used to provide exceptional fan experiences and comprehensive security—ultimately helping to support the soccer culture and unite fans of the sport.

    Join us as we explore the soccer phenomenon, the very real “Messi Effect,” and the people, processes and technologies that help to meet the goals of MLS!

  • Screen Time: Rethinking Video Games and Reimagining Education – Level 2

    Screen Time: Rethinking Video Games and Reimagining Education – Level 2
    Jul 18 2024

    Goals are a fundamental part of life, and not coincidentally, video games. Whether you’re looking to escape the dungeon, beat your last score or get to the next level, goals serve to challenge, focus and motivate us. These things are key to learning, success and tracking achievement—so can these concepts and technologies apply to education?

    In this episode of Connect, get ready to level up your thinking with “the father of the video game industry” and the preeminent expert in STEAM education. We’re excited and privileged to welcome back Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, and Dr. Leah Hanes, CEO of The Two Bit Circus Foundation and ExoDexa, to expand our conversation on gamification and the future of education.

    In “Level 2” of our discussion with Nolan and Leah, we delve deeper into the idea of creating curriculums that “meet students where they are,” the concept of constructive play, and the value of tying learning to other senses. Plus, we’ll examine how traditional education isn’t meeting the needs of every student nor is it keeping pace with technology—and what can be done to solve these problems.

    Join us as envision the future of education, entrepreneurship, and technology – and of course, discover a few Atari easter eggs along the way!

  • Screen Time: Rethinking Video Games and Reimagining Education

    Screen Time: Rethinking Video Games and Reimagining Education
    Jun 20 2024

    What if students spent as much time studying as they did playing video games? Most parents blame gaming as a distraction from studies, and their kids condemn schoolwork as pointless. Is there truly a way to make both sides happy? And is gaming actually the common denominator?

    In this episode of Connect we go straight to the ultimate authority for answers to these questions and more as we speak with the “father of the video game industry,” founder of Atari, Nolan Bushnell and education trailblazer and CEO of Two Bit Circus Foundation Dr. Leah Hanes. We delve into their new book, “Shaping the Future of Education,” and learn about their latest endeavor: ExoDexa.

    Additionally, we explore a completely new vision for education and what Nolan and Leah are doing to make it a reality. From the concept of “no grades, no grades,” makerspaces and “flow,” we’ll discuss how technology and gamification have the potential to inspire K to grey learning by meeting students where they are and teaching to their interests.

    Join us for an inspiring conversation that mixes education, entrepreneurship and technology, and yes, a bit of old school gaming.
