Podcast appearances and mentions of urban solutions

Welcome to our Summer Replay series. We wanted to revisit some of our previous episodes. These episodes were previously recorded and aired at an earlier date. This episode originally aired on May 25, 2022.   As part of our IT Specialist Academy training, we held a webinar addressing computational thinking. This one was so good, that we just had to share it here as well. We were lucky enough to feature two of our new CERTIFIED Ambassadors on this episode: Tracey Sigers and Damiano Mastandrea.  Tracey Sigers is the Department Chair of Information Technology at the National Center for Urban Solutions in Columbus, Ohio. Tracey holds an MBA with an emphasis in technology leadership, a bachelor's degree in information technology, and an associate degree in technology. Tracey has twenty years of business background in computer systems management, college study skills, and Microsoft software experience. She's eager to bring students into the twenty-first century using enthusiastic and dynamic teaching to help them become lifelong learners. Damiano Mastrandrea is a Career and Technical Education Director at the Brooklyn STEAM Center. He manages the CTE portfolio of the school to ensure that they are highly relevant and rigorous. He also strategizes various career readiness approaches through workplace immersion programs supported by data-driven decisions. Damiano is a big believer in changing education as a system that works for everyone instead of the selected few and pursuing education to all corners. His passion for education has led him to earn three college degrees including a doctorate, as well last 26 industry certifications.  When he has a free moment, Damiano likes to write short stories, play games, and, if he's feeling daring, bake! We sat down with Tracey and Damiano to learn more about computational thinking. According to ComputationalThinking.org, these skills are increasingly critical for individuals and organizations as the use of computation becomes more central to every activity and every innovation. In this episode, we took a deep dive into computational thinking. Our guests taught us more about what it is, why it's valuable for students, and how you can teach this industry-demanded skillset in the classroom.

How can we build climate resilience? Social Impact Pioneers Joyce Coffee and Henning Alts reveal the secrets to longevity within inclusive business models and explore why a construction materials company is vital to building climate resilience with vulnerable communities. Listen in to this podcast conversation as Henning Alts, the social scientist working with Cemex, the global construction materials company, celebrates 25 years of Patrimonio Hoy. Initially designed to empower low-income families in improving their homes, Patrimonio Hoy has evolved into something far greater. This inclusive business model not only provides access to financing, but also offers technical assistance, enabling families to build safe, resilient, and sustainable homes step by step. As Henning explains: “The outcomes aren't just strong homes, but stronger families and communities too.” Climate change, we know, is unleashing a cascade of extreme weather events, leaving vulnerable communities, often residing in fragile housing, at the mercy of its devastating effects. Joyce Coffee, who was instrumental in developing the world's first climate resilience principles for the financial services industry and has played a key role in shaping the climate adaptation field – believes that Patrimonio Hoy could play a vital part in the next 25 years to help people literally build physical climate resilience into their homes. Boldly brought into Cemex to evaluate the business propensity to climate resilience - Joyce shares what she has discovered on this unique journey. During this conversation, get ready to learn about climate resilience; how leading-edge businesses are examining all that they do in preparation for their response to climate change; whilst looking at what it takes for inclusive business models to stand the test of time.

Recorded on October 12, 2022 https://youtu.be/GGp-q0iRsLg Recorded on August 23, 2022 Episode 62 of the PetroNerds podcast is a jam packed treat for listeners. Ahead of Halloween and midterms, Trisha Curtis updates listeners on the state of the oil market and the Biden Administration's moves on the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve). Listeners get to hear and see Trisha Curtis on an incredible panel with Heidi Gill of Urban Solutions and Andrew Haney of Nickel Road Operating. "The Future of the DJ: Is It Still Economic to Operate in Colorado?" was a panel at the Colorado Oil and Gas Association's annual energy summit in August 2022. The discussion is lively and frank given both Urban Solutions and Nickel Road are private companies. And as listeners know, Trisha does not pull any punches. She speaks to regulators in the room directly about the need to approve permits in Colorado and the state of the oil market, the likeness to California, Colorado's declining production contribution to energy insecurity, and the need for Colorado to decide whether they are pro domestic oil and gas production or not.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, “urban educators report the growing challenges of educating urban youth who are increasingly presenting problems such as poverty, limited English proficiency, family instability, and poor health.” Overcoming these obstacles and educating young people in urban areas can prove challenging. However, Tracey Sigers wants to change the narrative. Rather than look at urban education as challenging and difficult, she wants employers and teachers to see these areas and students as “untapped resources”.  Tracey Sigers is the Department Chair of Information Technology at the National Center for Urban Solutions in Columbus, Ohio. Tracey holds an MBA with an emphasis in technology leadership, a bachelor's degree in information technology, and an associate degree in technology. Tracey has twenty years of business background in computer systems management, college study skills, and Microsoft software experience. In addition to her experience with Microsoft, Tracy also works with the Adobe Certified Professional program, the Entrepreneurship and Small Business certification, the IT Specialist program, and the IC3 Digital Literacy certification. In this episode, we sat down with Tracey to discuss why certification is valuable in these “untapped” communities. She shares her experience with helping students certify their skills, helping them find jobs, and how employers in the community are taking notice.  Connect with Tracey (and the other CERTIFIED Ambassadors) here: https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Blog/2022/May/Meet-the-CERTIFIED-Ambassadors. You can also learn more about the value of certification here: https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/About/The-value-of-certification.     Podcast edited and managed by Haili Murch LLC.

We sat down with Tracey and Damiano to learn more about computational thinking. According to ComputationalThinking.org, these skills are increasingly critical for individuals and organizations as the use of computation becomes more central to every activity and every innovation. In this episode, we took a deep dive into computational thinking. Our guests taught us more about what it is, why it's valuable for students, and how you can teach this industry-demanded skillset in the classroom.

Recorded on May 4, 2022 https://youtu.be/k8klTgu4wqo Episode 47 is a special treat for PetroNerds podcast listeners wanting to know more about Colorado, regulations on oil and gas, the need for politicians to actually act, and the Denver Julesburg Basin.  Trisha Curtis is joined by guest Heidi Gill, CEO of Denver based Urban Solutions.  Urban Solutions is primarily a soundwall and mitigation company for oil and gas activity, but as Heidi explains, it is also a compliance company and is working on software and nuisance impacts and mitigation in other businesses from renewables to crypto.  Trisha opens with commentary on the Federal Reserve's 50 basis point rate hike and the current 30 year fixed mortgage rate of 5.6 percent.  WTI is $107.68, Brent $110.07, Henry Hub $8.38, Dutch TTF $32.  Trisha and Heidi talk about the state of the Colorado oil and gas industry, regulations in Colorado oil and gas, the defeat of Proposition 112, the push of SB 181, changes in the COGCC (Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission), and oil and gas activity in the DJ Basin.  They talk about the need for clarity on regulations and the need for permit approvals for investors to get excited about the DJ.  They talk about Colorado Governor Jared Polis' positioning on oil and gas, how SB 181 was not put in place to foster oil and gas development, and how the COGCC make up was changed.  Heidi makes note of Occidental's wells in the town of Firestone being approved by Firestone but denied by the state of Colorado.  Heidi says that the "The state has not been processing permits consistently."   Trisha and Heidi discuss the need for clarity in Colorado on oil and gas permitting so that businesses like Heidi's have an incentive to stay in Colorado. They also talk about the stringent emission standards in Colorado for oil and gas production and touch on a number of other topics, including NIMBYism (Not in My Back Yard) and the inability to permit renewables as well as oil and gas.  This is a DJ focussed podcast with applications across the US and across businesses, including renewables.

This is a recording of an excellent PTV-led debate about the future of mobility and the use of data to support it, reducing the need for infrastructure building. The panel debate took place at the ITS World Congress in Singapore and was chaired by SMART Highways editor Paul Hutton.  It featured discussion on better traffic management, budget constraints, politicians' love of "turning dirt" rather than cheaper, quicker, more efficient technology solutions, and the "rush to be second". The debate, called "Orchestrating mobility in Smart Cities" focused on cities' orchestration of transport modes to deal with the most pressing mobility challenges: congestion, environmental impact and road safety. It started with a presentation about PTV Optima before a debate involving: Omid Ejtemai, PTV Group Chong Lee, Head of Urban Solutions, Volkswagen AG Majid Sarvi, Head of Transport Engineering, University of Melbourne Martin Huber, Head of BWVI, Hamburg Randy Iwasaki, Executive Director at Contra Costa Transportation Authority Abbas Mohaddes, CEO of Econolite and CAVita
