SUMMARY:The Nuts and Bolts of SBIRs/STTRs across Life Science Agencies WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:The Nuts and Bolts of SBIRs/STTRs across Life Science Agencies WEBINAR\nFeeling daunted by the range of SBIR/STTR opportunities offered to support your emerging company’s life science product development?  With 11 federal agencies supporting the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs\, newcomers to the process may miss opportunities that are right for them simply because they may not be aware of some of the in’s and out’s of SBIRs/STTRs across agencies.  This 90-minute webinar with Q & A will help first-time applicants understand the landscape of opportunities to support awards at NIH\, NSF\, USDA\, ARPA-H and to a lesser extent DoD.  This webinar is presented by Life Science Works.  Our presenter has written and received SBIRs for his own life science company and he helps others navigate the landscape to zero in on the right opportunity at the right moment.LOCATION: WEBINARDATE: February 18\, 2026TIME: 1PM-2:30PMCOST:  •	Virginia Based Small Tech Firms & University Researchers\, FREE•	Non-Virginia Based Companies and University\, $45 person

SUMMARY:Tech Talk with Neptune SHIELD - AI technology
DESCRIPTION:Ben Brown\, Founder of AYO Advisors\, advanced prompt engineering techniques working with emerging technologies\, including AI\, will join us.\nBen Brown will provide an overview of advanced prompt engineering techniques working with the latest generative AI models to best leverage their capabilities. He and AYO Advisors introduce structured frameworks for developing prompts that yield reliable\, repeatable\, and effective results to government industries. The discussion will also include the ethical use and limitations of AI and how to mitigate these issues using structured prompt engineering.  \nBen Brown is a former US Marine intelligence officer and has extensive operational deployments in Ukraine and other various theatres. He is a fluent Ukrainian and Russian speaker and has seen 1st hand how a strong knowledge of AI in the modern technology world can transform a leaders ability to multiply their workload in half the time\, both on and off the battle field. We have taken his three day course on Prompt Engineering and it is absolutly worth it! Even if you are well versed in AI/ML tools\, Ben will show you how to maximize efficeincy and make a huge leap forward to join the rest of the AI users in the world.

SUMMARY:MIG Welding 101 NFK (16+)
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of MIG Welding in this introductory class.\nThis workshop is for any DIY person who can work a hot-glue gun and is ready to move to metal work with a basic wire-feed or MIG (Metal inert gas) welder. During this 2-hour workshop\, we speak about the different types of consumer welding (MIG\, TIG\, Arc)\, focusing on the easiest style which is wire-fed/MIG\, amperage vs voltage\, temperature vs wire-flow\, proper speed and flow techniques\, penetration vs burn through\, 110v vs 220v\, consumer vs professional\, and so on. This workshop aims to get you comfortable and secure enough to get hands-on creative experience\, then ready for custom fabrication and art creation in later workshops. Students will feel safe enough to start shopping after for a welder and supplies\, or to rent one for their projects. In this hands-on workshop\, participants will leave with a fun\, takeaway project.\nThis is a basic demonstration and hands-on steel welding for hobbyists. Required: Closed-toe shoes (no flops)\, long pants (no shorts)\, long sleeve cotton shirt or jacket that can take small sparks\, open mind\, open ears\, comfy shoes. Gloves are provided but it is preferred that you bring your own for fit- Goatskin or Deerskin gloves work well.Disclaimer:This is not a class to earn certifications. This class is purely a hands-on experience to provide access to a welder and the basics of how it works. Safe practices should always precede caution and participants attend at their own risk.\nDuration: 2 Hours\n(All materials included)
