The cafe speaker is David Jasper, graduate student in the College of Engineering & Computer Science at Syracuse University.
You might know David better as "The Rocketman," volunteering the past four years at the both the annual Rocket Challenge and the Build 'em and Bust 'em competition held at the MOST. David completed his Bachelor of Science in Information Management and Technology and is working on his M.S. in Information Management and Information Security Management from the top ranked program in the country.
David has worked for the University for about 4 years and currently performs systems and network administration for two divisions within the university encompassing departments all over the upstate campus as well as SU satellite locations in New York City, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles, California.
David also worked in India for about a year as a Software Engineer for the global consulting firm named Infosys. During this time he was working on programming online/e-banking applications using Java and other Web development technologies. David and his brother Steven are entrepreneurs in their spare time and have a company called The Sun Brothers.
This year they planted 10 acre of sunflowers and sold them as cut flowers at farmer's markets, festivals, and concert venues. The left over flower heads, yielding black oil sunflower seeds, are going to be used for bird food and dried and pressed for their oil. The oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids essential for cardiovascular health and mental well being. Many companies like Frito-Lay are using sunflower oil as a frying base for obvious health reasons, and the brothers would eventually like to work on methods for producing bio diesel.
Modeled after the International Café Scientifique, the TACNY Junior Café Scientifique features monthly talks by a guest speaker on current science, mathematics, engineering, or technology topics.
The program is sponsored by TACNY, the Technology Alliance of Central New York, and hosted at the MOST.
Please note: The target age for the TACNY Junior Cafe` Scientifique is Middle School & High School students, along with their parents or guardians. However, we ask that the question and answer period is for the students ONLY!
Following the talk, attendees are invited to explore the exhibits at the MOST. Additionally, continental breakfast will be served.
**Students need an adult chaperone within the museum during the exploration of exhibits, in case of emergencies. Thank you!

The Clean Tech Center will host a closing reception for the exhibit, "Renewal of a Community Resource: Onondaga Lake's Historic Role in Creating Syracuse's Identify" currently on display at Syracuse Technology Garden.
The closing reception will differ from the Open House hosted by the Tech Garden in September as there will be several opportunities for visitors to take guided tours with Dennis Connors, Onondaga Historical Association curator and local author.
Visitors can examine over 30 paintings, maps, and photos depicting the lake's historical significance to region, over the past 500 years. The exhibit begins with several paintings discussing use of the lake by the Iroquois and then illustrates the transition of the lake from a major manufacturing and commercialization site for salt and soda ash to a destination resort community. The final pieces in the exhibit discuss the current status of the lake as well as possible future value that would result from the restoration of the waterfront community.

The Center for Economic Growth (CEG) announced today that the 10th Annual SmartStart UNYTECH Venture Forum, will be held in Syracuse May 17-18, 2010 at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center. The forum is Upstate's premier venture forum to highlight the best early stage companies to investors.
"Supporting high growth companies is important for the Tech Valley region, as well as across the state. Moving this forum to different cities each year allows us to diversify opportunities presented to our entrepreneurs. The Center or Economic Growth is looking forward to another successful forum, connecting researchers and start-ups with the funded needed to move forward," stated F. Michael Tucker, president and CEO of the Center for Economic Growth.
This is the largest event for early stage companies and entrepreneurs in Upstate. It showcases local innovation before the entire Northeast investing and technology community. Every year, the forum provides a snapshot of the entire spectrum of New York state's latest emerging technologies and insights into future markets.
"The Tech Garden is truly excited to welcome UNYTECH and SmartStart to Syracuse. The two events together showcase the best of what Upstate has to offer--cutting edge technologies and strong cross-regional collaborations between universities, entrepreneurs and angel/venture investors," said Nasir Ali, president of The Tech Garden.
Since its inception 220 high-quality companies have presented and 62 have raised over $390 M in equity financing, including over $71 M directly attributable to their participation in the forum.
"The Smart Start Venture Forum is an exceptional opportunity to showcase the wealth of innovation, expertise and resulting leading technologies that exists in Central Upstate New York. This year's event being hosted in Syracuse will allow guests to meet and network with New York's Creative Core's fascinating local entrepreneurial and tech commercialization leaders," said Mitchell Paterson, Economic Development Coordinator of the Metropolitan Development Association (MDA) of Syracuse and Central New York.
"Syracuse University is proud and delighted to host upstate New York's largest technology-venture fair SmartStart UNYTECH. This will be an amazing opportunity for early-stage companies to showcase their businesses to investors and for aspiring entrepreneurs to see first hand on how to attract private investments for their venture. This forum will also provide established companies access to the innovative research happening in the region's world-class research institutions. Moreover, this event will provide networking opportunities with the people of upstate that are promoting an entrepreneurial ecosystem and a constellation of innovation possible," concluded Jeong Han Oh, director of Syracuse University Office of Technology Transfer and Industrial Development.
A call for entrepreneurs will begin in early January of 2010. For more information on the SmartStart UNYTECH forum, please contact CEG at 518-465-8975 or visit www.smartstartvf.com
