Altitude is committed to the future and the future will be shaped by our children. Altitude supports an organization called Sweat Equity Enterprises. They design groundbreaking collaborations between youth and industry - an innovation lab for companies, and an unbelievable learning opportunity for teenagers. Youth analyze and demystify the products and media that most captivate them, then develop their own original professional-quality designs for corporate partners (proceeds and contributions go towards students college scholarships and program support). This learning method is proven to increase their personal, academic and professional skills. At the same time, companies gain fresh creative ideas and market research, enhance their brand through sustainability, and cultivate a talented and diverse workforce of the future. Altitude is actively fundraising for SEE by donating 100% of the proceeds generated by the sale of unique products designed by Altitude staff members. Items include hats, t-shirts, coffee mugs, and posters. Click the link above to browse the offerings (and spread the word!).

‘I love that darn thing!’ by Brian Matt
Snippet from the article. Read more at manufacturingcenter.com
Why do I sleep with my Apple iPhone eight inches from my face on the nightstand, put it on the table at every meeting, use it to surf the Web while at Starbucks, or check the weather in Tokyo, Sydney, and Boston while I ride in a taxi? I can’t stop and I don’t want to. I love that darn thing! Why does every social event grow into an opportunity to pull out my Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker? Have you ever tasted a blueberry-mango frozen curveball? No? Probably because I made it up. I love that darn thing!
