What We Do

We create software projects that help work towards the UN's sustainable development goals, which focus on environmental, economic, and social issues. We collaborate with global Nonprofits through our parent organization, create local impact through outreach, and help students make friends and build their careers. If you're interested in working with us, feel free to email us.

Our First Annual Mario Kart Social!

Jack Blake

This fall we hosted our first annual Mario Kart social. We had Domino's pizza, and soft drinks, and held a tournament to determine the club Mario Kart Champion. Congrats to Sam Henrichs for the win this year! The tournament was set up as three pods that competed concurrently to determine finalists.

We recently had the privilege of receiving a high-level technical overview of the methods and practices used at Koe Koe Tech, a Myanmar base machine-learning endeavor dedicated to filtering violence, hate speech, and fake news out from social media. We were interested in learning about the challenges of creating language models dealing with multiple languages.
