If you don’t know the Minne* (Minnestar) organization, you really should. The fine folks at Minne* are behind the annual MinneBar conference in the spring and the MinneDemo events that happen throughout the year. All of it is created and planned to showcase the tech and tech talent of the Twin Cities. Jenna Pederson (who also co-founded Hack the Gap) sits on the board of Minne* and Maria Ploessl is their Executive Director - both share their own experiences of getting involved in the local tech community and Minne* as well as why they are so excited about what they see at the events. We talk about building community here, the flywheel of inclusion, a student team that literally built a better wheelchair, and why you really should just go ahead and throw your name in to present at MinneBar.
