PolyVent
PolyVent is a diverse volunteer team of international engineers, scientists, clinicians and other professionals who have joined forces to design, build and produce a clinical-grade, open-source ventilator in response to the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting global shortage of ventilators.
NASA-MCOG
The NASA-MCOG project develops an open-source control system to enhance NASA’s Ceramic Oxygen Generation technology, aimed at improving life support for space missions. The project focuses on precise parameter control, with potential applications for global health and oxygen generation in harsh environments.
Fetal Health Risk Detection using Machine Learning
Equipping healthcare professionals and expectant mothers with timely and actionable insights, this solution aims to transform neonatal care, saving lives and fostering healthier beginnings.
Botanical Sensor Project

Krake
This is a wireless alarm device which makes loud noises and flashes lights to alert a nearby individual.
NanoCap Table
NanoCaptable is an innovative, open-source tool designed to facilitate the equitable division and sharing of equity for nascent projects that are too small and uncertain to justify the creation of formal legal entities such as LLCs. This tool is particularly valuable for early-stage ventures where the revenue-generating potential remains unclear.
