BizDojo Friends Launch Futuristic Lighting System on KickStarter

BizDojo partner company MEA Mobile has launched a KickStarter campaign for their "iGloLED" – a smartphone controllable strip of LED lights.

iGloLED is a strip of coloured LED lights that you control with an iPhone or Android control app. You can interact with the lights in real time, program and save patterns, individually address each LED in the strip, select from a full colour palette and create dynamic effects.

The product has caused an immediate buzz, with features on MacLife, Gizmodo, Engadget, and other industry publications.

"Makes Any Room a Hundred Times More Fun." - Gizmodo.

The next step in the product's development is raising funds to produce a new low-cost 12 volt product based on their prototype... with more versions of the control software. They will also create a development kit so third parties can access the controller platform, enabling endless uses above and beyond lighting control.

iGloLED is perfect for people with a love for lighting and technology. You could do just about anything with the light strips... from retail window design, accent lighting, xmas lights, car interiors, bar and restaurant environments… Your imagination is the limit!

If you're like us, and can’t wait to play around with iGloLED, go to Kickstarter and pledge the project.

MEA Mobile to Launch New Zealand’s First App School

In response to the dire shortage of skilled mobile app developers, MEA Mobile and Prima Learning are collaborating to put together New Zealand’s first ever App School.

MEA Mobile is owned by MacFarlane Engel Associates, a partner company to The BizDojo.

App School is a 9 week full-time course to learn the newest in-demand programming language, along with professional tricks and tips. Currently, the course covers the key skills required to create apps for iOS. Future courses will cover Android and other mobile platforms.

During the course, programmers get to learn from experienced professionals, create commercial apps, and interact with potential employers. The intense 9 weeks comprise morning lectures, demonstrations, and tutorials, which will be followed by hands-on, mentored project sessions in the afternoons. Experienced programmers will get the chance to explore topics in more depth independently during these sessions.

Course details

3rd December – 21st December (Weeks 1-3)

7th Jan – 15th Feb (Weeks 4-9)
