Location: See you in Austin! Each year, the CEC Annual Workshop on Electrochemistry brings together experts in fields of engineering, materials, and electrochemistry to focus on a few topics in an important area of electrochemical research. Electrochemistry is the foundation for chemical transducers and sensors and is poised to play an increasing role in the analysis of chemical and biological interfaces; and for the high-resolution study of ion/charge transport and dynamics, electron transfer, adsorption, and chemical toxicity. Participants address specific challenges in the field, exchange ideas and information, and catch up with colleagues from around the world.

The Workshop will be held at the Robert A. Welch Building (Welch Hall, or WEL) on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin.

The workshop location is near to the many recreational and cultural attractions of the Austin Hill Country. The Austin campus is the site of 17 libraries and several world-class museums, and just a short walk or ride away from central Austin attractions: The Bob Bullock Texas History Museum, the Texas State Capitol, Congress Avenue, and 6th Street and the Warehouse shopping and entertainment districts. Known as "The Live Music Capital of the World," Austin is a vibrant mix of Texas friendliness and cosmopolitan sophistication, with opportunities for outdoor recreation activities. The weather in Austin during February can be cool but is generally mild: the average high is 65 F (18 C) and the average low is 44 F (7 C).

Formed in the summer of 2015, Illiterate Light transcend expectations of typical rock music through their limitations as a duo. Jeff Gorman elevates his gritty guitar melodies and honest lyricism by stomping out thunderous synth bass with his feet as Jake Cochran layers lush vocal harmony and explodes with body convulsing energy around his minimalist standing drum kit. Gorman and Cochran’s incessant writing, commanding live performance, and constant touring promise a bright future as they finish their debut album with Vance Powell (Jack White, Kings of Leon, Chris Stapleton) and Adrian Olsen (Foxygen, Natalie Prass). “Better Than I Used To” is the first taste of what’s to come from Illiterate Light.

Spanning the better part of a decade, the creative evolution between Gorman and Cochran is far from ordinary. The duo has run an organic farm in the Shenandoah Valley, toured the mid-Atlantic in bands by bicycle, and lived in small communities while pursuing modes of alternative education. Their eclectic background is mirrored in their sound and lyricism, floating between postmodern confusion and vibrant optimism. Though shaped by the DIY music scene of their hometown Harrisonburg VA, the duo has grown immensely through immersion in the thriving communities of both Richmond, VA and Nashville, TN.

"Beth's CPR & First Aid Seminar is, without question, the most comprehensive and enjoyable pet care class I've ever taken. She uses her own experience as a veterinary technician and dog care facility manger to create meaningful scenarios and experiences that you can apply to your own pets. Beth ensures that every student understands each technique by allowing practice on both stuffed and demonstrations with live dogs, which makes the instruction more memorable. The 8 hour class simply flew by! It was a great value and I will be taking it every year from now on."

One of the skills we teach is the Snout-to-Tail ™ Assessment.

Read how this saved one pet's life . . .

A pet owner who took our class loved her little dog because she did her homework assignment of the Snout-To-Tail ™ Assessment. Where you go from Snout-To-Tail ™ with deliberate intent and purpose creating a baseline of your pet’s health. Also, so that you know more of what is normal for your pet, so you can more quickly recognize what is not normal for your pet. She found mammary tumors growing on her dog. She took her to the vet, who confirmed the diagnosis. Luckily she caught it early enough that treatment was successful. However, the vet did tell her that if she had let that go just another five or six months, the outcome may not have been as good. This simple skill that can take only a few minutes added thousands of minutes to this pet’s life.

When I tell this story in the classroom, some people wonder how she didn't notice the mammary tumors in the first place. The thing is that she never really put her hands on her dog, from Snout-To-Tail ™ , with deliberate intent and purpose, like we teach in the class. She said she would come home from work, make her dog dinner, have dinner herself, her dog would sit on her lap and she would pet it.

The Love Better Tour with Annie F. Downs, Jonathan Pokluda, and worship with Cross Point Music.

With 12 years of relentless touring behind them, Vermont-based rock band...

With 12 years of relentless touring behind them, Vermont-based rock band Twiddle has built an impressive resume spanning Red Rocks to Bonnaroo, and multiple sellouts of historic rock venues including Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre, and Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club. And with the second half of the band’s third studio album, PLUMP, on the horizon, the band’s career continues to catapult forward. Buoyed by the generous support of 359 Kickstarter donors, the 27-song album does more than showcase the group’s beautiful music, but also tells an important story, comprised in PLUMP Chapters 1 & 2. 

Recorded during a two-year span with legendary producer Ron St. Germain, PLUMP serves as a reflection of four brothers’ triumphs and struggles, both individual and as a whole. On Chapter 1, songs like “Lost in the Cold” and “Every Soul” detail what it’s like to hit rock bottom and how to rise back up.  

“So many fans have shared how these songs carried them through very difficult times, and that alone makes this all worth it,” said Brook Jordan, Twiddle’s percussionist and vocalist.  

Comparatively, Chapter 2 contains genre-bending instrumentals, as well as mystifying epics like “Nicodemus Portulay” and “Orlando’s.” More than ten years later, these songs mirror the earliest Twiddle arrangements of 2004-2005 when Mihali Savoulidis and Ryan Dempsey were collaborating in their freshmen dorms at Castleton State College. The completion of PLUMP is timely, coming at a moment when the band’s fervent fan base is at an all-time high and expanding rapidly.  

In the live setting, more and more people are invigorated by Twiddle’s community, promoting positivity and the band’s skillful improvisational music. So many like-minded people believe in the greater good, and they find that good in Twiddle.  

Twiddle is comprised of Zdenek Gubb on bass and vocals, Ryan Dempsey on keyboards and vocals, Mihali Savoulidis on guitar and lead vocals, and Brook Jordan on percussion and vocals. A more detailed biography of each band member, along with upcoming tour dates and updates, can be found at TwiddleMusic.com.

2007 manifested Twiddle’s debut release, The Natural Evolution of Consciousness. This breakout album showcased the band’s eclectic inspirations, imaginative lyrical abilities, and superb instrumentation. Twiddle’s sophomore production, Somewhere on the Mountain (2011), delves into the human spirit, speaking to our ambition, grief, and love. Live at Nectar’s (2014), is a double disc live album recorded in August of 2013 at Burlington, Vermont’s Nectar’s. Live at Nectar’s truly captures Twiddle in its element, the live experience.

Certified ScrumMaster Workshop Our CSM Training prepares leaders, makers...

Certified ScrumMaster Workshop

Our CSM Training prepares leaders, makers, and anyone in between to guide, sponsor, and participate in Agile/Scrum initiatives. At the end of the 2-day CSM class, participants will have gained knowledge of Agile product development, all of the elements of the Scrum framework, and the knowledge necessary to take the certification exam from Scrum Alliance.

 Earning your certification is a good step towards understanding Agile and becoming a change agent. Our Certified ScrumMaster class welcomes both beginners whose first day in class is their first day in Agile and veteran Agilists who are looking for ways to get better. Project managers, tech leaders, even people who are not involved in software development have all found value in our certified ScrumMaster workshop.

You can earn 16 SEU’s or PDU’s with this class. For more information on how to claim SEU’s or PDU’s, visit our FAQ page. We also offer a non-certification, onsite private class called Agile For Teams. Contact training@agilevelocity.com for more information.

*We understand that training is an investment. We will work with individuals on a case-by-case basis to determine a price suitable for both parties. 

CSM Learning Outcomes

Through a combination of immersive team-based learning, exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will learn:

Core Values and Principles Behind Empirical-based Process

Learn how Agile is an example of an empirical model and how transparency, inspection, and adaptation fuels innovation and predictable value delivery.  

Agile Product Development vs. Waterfall Development

How is Agile different from traditional development and how organizations should think differently in this new environment.

Facilitate Scrum Events

ScrumMasters ensure Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standup, Sprint Retrospective, and Sprint Review) run smoothly. This section will teach new ScrumMasters how to facilitate Scrum ceremonies with confidence.  

Scrum Role Overview

Learn the responsibilities and authority of the Scrum roles (ScrumMaster, Product Owner, and Team) and their impact on traditional roles.

ScrumMaster Role Deep Dive

What does it take to be a good ScrumMaster? This section covers the ScrumMaster’s role, responsibilities within the Scrum team, and the skills needed to become successful.

Create and employ Scrum artifacts

One big misconception about Agile and Scrum is the lack of planning or general organization around work. Learn how artifacts like Product and Sprint Backlog and Burndown charts create visibility and track progress.

Engineering Practices

As a ScrumMaster you not only need to help your team improve their processes but you also need to encourage them to improve their technical practices. In this module we will help you understand how supporting Agile technical practices may help your team improve their overall agility.

Path to Agility

Where does the CSM fit into your overall Agile transformation? If an organization wants to create lasting agility, what needs to happen after training? Our Path to Agility is an Agile Transformation framework that helps organizations understand the entire journey and what it takes to go through the different phases of Align, Learn, Predict, Accelerate, and Adapt.

Who Needs To Attend ScrumMaster Class

The ScrumMaster is the Agile champion of the team and is the defacto expert of Agile (if an Agile Coach is not there). Change agents, Agile champions, leaders, organizations, and ScrumMasters new to their role would benefit from this workshop. We’ve also had the following positions benefit from the ScrumMaster class:

• Managers
• Developers
• Testers
• Analysts
• Product Manager
• Project Managers

CSM or CSPO? Which Scrum Certification Should I get?

Take the CSPO if you wish to:

• Realize product vision in a more efficient and collaborative way

• Learn different and more effective ways to communicate product requirements (user stories)

• Become discovery-focused instead of requirements-focused

• Drive richer product discovery using story mapping

• Align the Scrum team more closely with product stakeholders and customers

• Better manage stakeholder expectations

Take CSM if you wish to:

• Champion the change from Waterfall to Agile and Scrum

• Improve your current Agile and Scrum knowledge

• Need an understanding of all the Scrum roles, ceremonies, and how they fit together in a Sprint

• Understand different ways of reporting value and activity

Why Is CSM Training Beneficial?

Become a force for good

Part of the reason we love our job is that we truly believe Agile is the best way to handle creative projects. Taking the CSM workshop gives students a strong foundation of Agile and Scrum, and will allow them to lead their team as they embark on their Agile journey.

Upgrade your career

As Agile and Scrum become the way of life for organizations, having the certification can make resumes seem more appealing to new prospects and help participants become more valuable to their organizations.

Expand your horizons

Agile is going mainstream; it’s no longer confined to tech teams. Many departments, from marketing to operations to sales, have started to adopt Agile. Becoming a certified ScrumMaster may help those who wish to escape the tech bubble.

Sharpen your mindset

Reading a book can only take you so far; sometimes you need colleagues and certified experts to add to your Agile toolbox. Use the two days of class to immerse fully in the world of Agile and Scrum to increase your fluency.

Earning Your CSM Certification



At the end of the two days, our CST will submit the names of qualified participants to Scrum Alliance and Scrum Alliance will send a link to take the test.

Exam retake policy and associated fees

To pass the Scrum Alliance CSM exam, you need to get 74% of the questions correct. There are 50 questions and you will have 60 minutes to take the exam. Participants will have two attempts within 90 days of receiving the welcome email from Scrum Alliance at no cost. After two attempts or 90 calendar days, the test is $25 for each retake. The exam is an open book, open note test.

Sample CSM exam questions

The Development Team does not sit together and therefore rarely communicates. Due to this arrangement, they tend to segue into deep technical discussions when sharing at the Daily Scrum. What should the ScrumMaster do?

1. Discuss at the next retrospective for the team to determine how best to address the issue
2. Assign a technical lead to work with all the developers individually on their issues
3. Extend the Daily Scrum to 60 minutes
4. Schedule an additional meeting for technical discussions at another time

 The Sprint Burndown Chart can be BEST described as:

1. An indicator of how much time each member is spending on each task
2. An indicator of how the Team is progressing towards their Sprint Goals
3. A tool to track scope changes in the Sprint
4. A tool to manage what the Team is doing each day


What is a good indicator that the Sprint Retrospective was productive?

1. Team identified 1-3 actionable items to implement during the next Sprint
2. Team discussed what worked well and what could be improved upon
3. Team reviewed metrics from the previous Sprint (burndown chart, velocity, etc.)
4. Team discussed all of the impediments that were surfaced in the previous Sprint
