This funding will allow us to establish a regional competition program in Colorado, as well as to engage and support underserved students in South Florida and Southern California and inner-city youth in Chicago.

MONTEREY, Calif. (PRWEB)
October 30, 2019

MATE Inspiration for Innovation (MATE II) announced it received a grant for $45,000 from Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions, Inc., to further expand its reach of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.

MATE II is a nonprofit organization that challenges students to apply STEM skills in an underwater robotics competition called the MATE ROV (remotely operated vehicle) Competition. Through these dedicated grant funds, MATE II will target underrepresented populations in specific locations in Southern California, Illinois and South Florida with the goal of providing resources to get them involved in the competition and expose them to careers that they might not have otherwise considered. Motorola Solutions Foundation awards grants each year to organizations, such as MATE II, which support and advance public safety programs and technology and engineering education initiatives.

”We are so pleased to have been awarded Motorola Solutions Foundation funding again this year,” said Jill Zande, president and executive director of MATE II. “This funding will allow us to establish a regional competition program in Colorado, as well as to engage and support underserved students in South Florida and Southern California and inner-city youth in Chicago. We are excited to introduce these students to STEM via the MATE ROV Competition, and to help them realize there are education and career opportunities available to them in STEM fields.”

The MATE ROV Competition requires students to brainstorm and engineer solutions to problems based on real world scenarios, from removing plastics from our oceans to maintaining healthy waterways and ensuring public safety. The competition challenges students from K through 12, community colleges and universities throughout four levels (EXPLORER, RANGER, NAVIGATOR and SCOUT) to design, build and test underwater robots to complete specified, simulated, real-life missions. Students also must organize themselves into mock companies, which encourages them to develop entrepreneurial thinking, innovate and work together to essentially manufacture, market and sell their product (a.k.a. the ROV).

Competition consists of a network of 40 regional contests that take place around the world each spring with the winning teams advancing to the international championship. The 2020 MATE International ROV Competition, June 25-27, is expected to bring together more than 1,000 students as they descend in Villanova, Pennsylvania.

This year, Motorola grants will support programs that help more than two million students, teachers, first responders and community members around the globe. They have a specific focus on providing grants to programs that impact underrepresented populations, including females, minorities, people with disabilities, veterans and others.

“We are very pleased to support the work of MATE II,” said Monica Mueller, executive director of the Motorola Solutions Foundation. “We believe in organizations that foster innovation and drive change, and we’re proud to be part of the positive impact they are making in the community.”

“The construction industry is in the very early innings of a massive digital transformation. We’re well poised to lead the industry in this evolution,” said Dr. Rene Morkos, CEO at ALICE Technologies.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
October 29, 2019

ALICE Technologies, the world’s first AI-based simulation platform for construction, today announced that it has closed $8M in Series A funding led by Merus Capital with participation from Foundamental, Blackhorn Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The new funds will be used to accelerate the company’s go-to-market plans, international expansion and product innovation.

Current construction planning software does not allow construction companies to optimize and analyze the complex flows of labor, equipment and materials throughout a job site, leading to projects plagued by consistent cost overruns and unexpected delays. ALICE solves this problem by leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze a project’s building requirements and generate highly efficient construction plans. Using ALICE, project teams now have the ability to explore a variety of building plans in real-time and better understand the impact of key construction decisions on the two metrics that matter most: project cost and duration. Builders can reduce project costs by $30 million for a typical $500 million project by using ALICE to optimize their projects.

“The construction industry is in the very early innings of a massive digital transformation,” said Dr. Rene Morkos, founder and CEO at ALICE Technologies. “With our deep experience in AI and our vast understanding of the inner workings of the construction industry, we’re well poised to lead the industry in this evolution. We’re thrilled to partner with Merus Capital as well as other leading names in venture capital and construction to continue to drive digitalization on a global scale.”

Since its initial product release in early 2018, ALICE has amassed a global portfolio of leading developers and general contractors across Asia, the Nordics, the Middle East and North America. ALICE is being used to plan projects by construction companies including Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company, AF Gruppen and Parsons. Recently, ALICE has filled out its leadership team with key hires including Jennifer Woodford, VP of Customer Success, who spent over 15 years as an executive at P6 Primavera.

“At Merus, we’re focused on investing in companies that are using technology to shift the basis of competition within an industry,” said Peter Hsing, co-founder and managing director at Merus Capital. “That means the technology needs to go beyond just suggesting improvements—it needs to actually take action and implement those improvements. We can’t think of a company that’s doing this more effectively than ALICE. We’re very excited to be a part of the revolution that ALICE started and look forward to partnering with Rene and his impressive team.”

About ALICE Technologies

ALICE Technologies is the world’s first AI-based simulation platform for construction. Founded in 2015 from research at Stanford University, ALICE Technologies is a construction simulation platform that leverages artificial intelligence to analyze a project’s complex building requirements and generate highly efficient building plans.
