It’s rewarding to build a project for a purpose that’s meaningful to you. This year I volunteered on a suicide hotline and talked to many callers who were in the midst of panic attacks. I worked on this project with those individuals in mind and the desire to support them.
Experience working with teens in crisis led @aly_steichen to build a panic-attack helper using CircuitPython, a pulse monitor, LEDs, sound, and a plush to coach someone through a calm-down process. https://t.co/m7DsO5M6gW
When you build LED Death Stars inspired by @GeekMomProjects you might attract a storm trooper. Good thing Chewy was here to protect me and @aly_steichen#BCStarWarsDay
something big is brewing at boston college this fall... 🦅
anyone know anyone involved in the college entrepreneurship org space? tag them below - would love to have them be a part of it!
Aly is one of the @BostonCollege students in our “Technologists for Others” cohort building switches to assist people with mobility challenges. These switches are off to empower children at Boston College Campus School. So proud of this class & the impact students are having!
Just finished making a 3D printable accessibility light touch switch! I used 3D printed materials for the switch base and soldered the mono cable to a tactile switch. Thanks @MakerMakeChange for providing instructions for this build! @gallaugher#BuiltWithProfG#BCPhysComp
10% of hospitalizations, 125,000 deaths, $100B-$289B in costs all because people forget to take their meds. I built and coded this “Meds Reminder” cabinet that lights up at the time you’re supposed to take your meds. Use tech for good. #BCPhysComp#BuiltWithProfG@gallaugher
Today I built a Raspberry Pi Drum Machine 🥁 I coded it in CircuitPython and used a STEMMA-QT-based Adafruit MPR121 Gator 12 Pad Capacitive Touch board, PyGame, and a standard speaker to build this super-fun drum board! #BCPhysComp#BuiltWithProfG@gallaugher
Always help your friends! If you find yourself treating anything — especially career related — as a zero-sum game, you’re doing it wrong.
There will always be a seat at the table for you, provided you are always giving all that you can to those who can use it. #BCSTT
🚀THE EVENT OF THE YEAR IS BACK 🚀
Get ready to for your minds to be blown on Wed, 4/6, 7-9pm in-person (and online, we’ll be live-streaming 😎). You do not want to miss all the surprises up our sleeve at this years Demo Day.
So RSVP now at https://t.co/Tx335TpVTj!
It is uncertain whether or not there are data-sharing agreements under this new contract between Roku and Google. Do you think companies should be able to share user data to help them in forming contracts with other companies? #BCSTT#D
@brookeyoakam7 I agree with you, Brooke. I am also surprised because having full time employees is going to be very different from a company perspective rather than just having gig-workers. I am curious to see if Uber and other companies like this are going to do the same thing. #BCSTT
@katerick21 This is really interesting perspective on positions and I'm not surprised Elon Musk thinks of them this way. I wonder what positions and titles will look like going into the future. Will there always be a C-Suite? #BCSTT
@edumendes44 I agree that this is a step in the right direction but I am curious to see how they are going to actually enforce this. I feel like there are a lot of loop holes around this and it makes me question if it is enforceable. #BCSTT
As many companies have begun hiring employees in places they do not have offices, it has opened a huge market for companies like BeerOrCoffee who offer flexible workspaces. Do you think that the demand for this will continue growing or has it reached its height? #BCSTT#D
