Structure holding tech ‘pop-up shop’ this weekend
This week’s pop-up is Structure’s first public event, and the company has set out to make it fun and kid-friendly, with inter-active builder kits — comprising a circuit board and sensors — the young ones can try. One of the kits makes a robotic mouse chase a light. Another randomly rolls a pair of LED dice. Henderson said they’ll have about 20 products for sale, with prices starting at $20.

Mortar is opening Brick 939 pop-up holiday shop in Walnut Hills
939 McMillan seemed like the perfect space for all of those opportunities, but it took a lot of work to get the space ready. Over the past 14 weeks, Mortar has removed more than seven dumpsters’ worth of old merchandise and debris from the former Dollar City store in the process of preparing the building.
“It was a task to have the vision to see what it could become,” Woods says. “When we walked into this space, it completely pulled me in. … Now it has become exactly what we wanted it to be.”
Woods sees the transformation of the Brick 939 space as an apt metaphor for the changes that Mortar leads entrepreneurs through in its nine-week accelerator class, taking their idea from a rough vision to a fully fleshed-out concept and often a realized business. Mortar is now well into its third such class, which is its first one taking place in Walnut Hills.
