In December, Cameron Fadjo launched his startup school, the Computing Innovation Center, in the San Francisco Bay Area. After developing large-scale computer science education programs at Google and the NYC Department of Education, he struck out on his own to create a tech-focused school that brings the entrepreneurial ethos of the high tech industry to local communities around the world. Cameron credits the opportunity to explore cutting edge technology at Fenn as a seminal experience that has fundamentally shaped how he views the role that computing and engineering play in the lives and minds of all young learners. He currently operates programs in California, with plans to bring centers to communities around the country (Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire are currently on his company’s radar) in 2016 and 2017. Bruce MacDowell reports, “I have taken over ownership of the family business, The MacDowell Company, a landscape architecture and construction company based in Weston.” In 2015, The MacDowell Company received Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston award for Best Landscaping, its third Best of Boston award to date.
