There's a movement happening across college campuses.

70% of Stanford singles, 50%+ at Penn, Princeton, Yale. All opting out of the swipe.

Date Drop matches become real dates 10x more often than Tinder.

The Wall Street Journal covered it today.

Just launched today an early research preview of Sanas — instant voice translation across 25+ languages. Hear what you sound like in French, before you even finish your sentence!

only FAF can host a demo day the week before finals and get insane turnout + the most incredible vibes from our epic community 🚀😮‍💨

here's what stanford's builders have been cooking this quarter: 🧵

Tahoe research trip ✅ We collected eDNA, recorded footage for 3D mapping, and tested our controller! Did we have a blast? Hell yaw 🌊

@SmallGovBest @AlexReibman @jclin22009 @cathyzbn @LawtonSkaling We want to open source the method we’ve used during this hackathon. We do not plan to produce this at scale. The idea is that schools and individuals can easily get their hands on a 3D printer and thus cheaply modify it on their own to turn it into a braille printer.

[Scott Hickmann @ScottHickmann]

@SmallGovBest @AlexReibman @jclin22009 @cathyzbn @LawtonSkaling Older 3D printers are becoming increasingly cheaper on the market. This exact printer goes for $150 on eBay. So even if you had to purchase a printer, the overall cost can still lie far below $200.

We won the best hardware hack at TreeHacks - for the 2nd year in a row! Shoutout to my insanely cracked team: @jclin22009 doing the front end, @cathyzbn on document processing and formatting, and @ScottHickmann doing printer controls.

We're going to develop our documentation in the coming weeks, in the hopes that anyone with a 3D printer and a need for braille can affordably print it at a fraction of the cost!

[Lawton Skaling @LawtonSkaling]

For TreeHacks, we built Braille Bot. It transforms any document—text, images, or websites—into printed braille at a fraction of the cost. It can be easily installed on an existing 3D printer for just $15, significantly cheaper than anything currently available.

The party raft was a huge success!! It was put together in an afternoon using plywood from a dumpster and surplus storage containers from a Stanford physics lab for flotation.

Thank you TreeHacks for awarding us best hardware for our book digitizing machine! This was the most fun and rewarding hackathon. This wouldn’t have been possible without my teammates Lawton, Jason, and Kaien, so many thanks to them as well!
