Project Rainbow: The Global Artificially Engineered Atmospheric Prism Initiative
What if we could summon rainbows on demand, anywhere on Earth? This project aims to build a distributed network of rainbow-generating drones to study light dispersion while spreading spontaneous joy across diverse communities.
The Gardeners' Almanac
A hyperlocal, community-driven planting calendar and seed swap, built entirely on free tools and neighborly goodwill.

The Unspoken Garden
A sensory park designed by and for the DeafBlind community, where every element communicates through touch, vibration, and scent.
The First-Step Store: Pop-Up Retail Bootcamp for Absolute Beginners
