Make You Think, Inc is a nonprofit that provides adults with accessible opportunities for education in science, history, and other related areas. We keep lifelong learning available, accessible, and fun.
Make You Think, Inc is a nonprofit aiming to provide adults with accessible opportunities for education in science, history, and more. It was established by a small group of long-time volunteers working to put on science lectures for many organizations.
These volunteers want to ensure programs exist to keep lifelong learning available, accessible and fun.
Board of Directors
Scott Frey
President
It’s critical that the general public is involved with science and feels science is important
Problem solver and technology consultant by trade, Scott has served on a number of boards for a variety of nonprofits over the years:
- Madison Area Club of Printing House Craftsmen, Vice President (1989) – brought together an early digital printing trade show
- Wisconsin Off Road Bicycling Association from 1994-2005 – worked with Chris Kegel to form entity from 50 members to near 5000 and 14 chapters across the state
- International Mountain Bike Association State Representative from 1996-1999
- Governors Trail Council 1997
- Columbia Area Mountain Bike Advocates Director at Large
Volunteer for other organizations – most notably and continually since 2008 – for OMSI, Nerd night, and then Science On Tap – to bring science education to an adult audience.
Sam Louke
Vice President
You can’t trust atoms,
they make up everything
Sam is a retired Chemical Engineer from the high-tech industry and has been volunteering at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, for OMSI Science Pubs, and for Via Productions’ Science on Tap for many years. In addition, he has played the trombone since 5th grade; is the current board president and a performer with the Oregon Symphonic Band; and plays in orchestras and jazz bands around the region.
Travis Peters
Treasurer
Enjoy life and pursue
goals with vigor
Travis is back in school after 20+ years of accounting and operations in hospitality and enjoying learning many new things in accounting, human resources, and systems science. Raised by a scientist and a psychiatric nurse, he can’t stop analyzing whatever is on his mind. In his not-so-copious free time, he is a lover of games, science fiction, and fantasy, and he also serves on the board of Oregon Science Fiction Conventions Inc. as Treasurer to promote that passion.
Rita Nygren
Secretary
If you don’t write it down,
it didn’t happen.
Rita’s specific favorite dinosaur is SUEtheTrex, who live tweets D&D games from the Chicago Field Museum, but she’s also recently learned about several species of dwarf herbivore dinosaurs that evolved when the European continent had turned into island ecologies and wants to know more and feels she can’t possibly be the only one.
Volunteering with science lecture series continuously since 2008, through OMSI and Via Productions, she also has a day job as a technical project manager and data geek where she learns new tools pretty continuously. This might be a character flaw. Previous non-profit experience includes:
- Special Projects Director and Newsletter Editor for the Wisconsin Off Road Bicycling Association – running a quarterly print newsletter for member accomplishments and managing several trail-building projects, including Blue Mounds State Park
- State Rep for Wisconsin for the International Bicycling Association, negotiated with state land managers and brought education to local volunteers on trail building and bike patrol
- Director at Large for Wisconsin Bike Federation, doing advocacy for bicycle access and infrastructure
- 500 Women Scientists PDX Podleader, advocating for women in science
