CivicPlus offers a range of technology solutions that help local governments, schools, and organizations run more efficiently, including tools designed for social media archiving to ensure compliance with public records laws. 📜

Nextdoor is a social platform that connects people within their neighborhoods, allowing local agencies and organizations to engage directly with their communities in a more personalized and effective way.

The new integration between CivicPlus and Nextdoor automatically archives all posts from the platform, capturing every detail like timestamps and digital signatures, ensuring that the content remains authentic and legally compliant.

This integration also provides advanced search options, making it easy for users to locate and retrieve archived content whenever needed, while helping them stay on top of public records requirements and avoid compliance issues.

Tape Measure, a robot dog at the University of Central Florida (UCF), has been introduced to both students and faculty as part of a demonstration of its advanced robotics capabilities.

Equipped with cutting-edge technology like lidar for navigation and autonomous movement, Tape Measure can balance and move independently, allowing for various interactive tasks and research opportunities. 📝

UCF students are utilizing Tape Measure to explore robot-human interactions and expand its functionality, testing new applications that contribute to robotics research.

Tape Measure even joined UCF’s cheering squad during a football match, interacting with students and adding excitement to the school spirit while showing its potential for public engagement and creative uses in robotics.
