When you shop online there are a number of things you think about before purchasing an item: price, quality, the time it will take to
arrive, etc. But very few people consider the impact this purchase has on the environment -- the product's carbon footprint.
We're building a browser application that allows you to compare products based on their carbon footprint while shopping online and gives
you an opportunity to offset the carbon cost of your purchase with a carbon offset.

Our final product is A one-stop-shop website platform, which allows photographers to upload, edit and submit content to multiple monetized image sharing platforms in a few clicks. Our product targets both amateur and professional photographers who are using their works to make money, and especially for those who based in developing countries. Our platform tries to address three pain points we found out through the survey: lack of peer to peer feedback, language barrier and low bandwidth. As our localized platform can let the users get in touch with other photographers who are in the same location with them, they can easily talk with each other in their own language to share feedback with images and ask for needs. What’s more, when the images they uploading are ready for submission, our platform will give users the corresponding tagging suggestions from Google. Finally, users can submit the images to multiple websites with only one click. This whole process will definitely save users time and the platform itself will let users get useful information which they can only get from different platforms previously.

Clinical researchers spend months defining the right search terms to find the right patients for their study. Seemingly simple clinical concepts, such as "Asthma", can have many definitions based on EHR data. Hubble aggregates those definitions so the researcher can analyze and compare them easily, in order to pick the perfect definition for their study.

While many people create music on their own, supplementing their musical knowledge with theory and technology, others believe they are incapable of creating music because they lack formal music training.
Our goal is to lessen the barriers to entry of creating music without this training, for those who want to create music but think they can't, and even for those who don't realize they can.

We are pleased to introduce EXPOSE.i, a mission-critical tool to enable social media platforms to
provide an honest and transparent internet to the world. Why now? It is a critical time for the
authenticity of digital content. Adobe tools and others are being utilized in an AI-enabled arms
race to produce deep fakes and other fake content, ownership is difficult to trace, and the
credibility of social media content has been brought into question by Cambridge Analytica. Our
top value-adds that give us a competitive edge is that our tool provides transparency of information, and is a platform-
agnostic aggregator.
EXPOSE.i provides analysis for images that will be posted online. A social media platform can interact with
the API through the web-based user interface or by directly calling routes for different analysis techniques.
The three routes return different information to help digital media companies make better decisions on the authenticity of images.
The API is a B2B-focused product, providing routes for analysis including (1) Error Level Analysis of the image for
visualizing modifications, (2) a reverse image search presenting the top sites the content is linked to, and (3) the extraction
of metadata from the image.

Our solution is called "Tech Cooking Classes" and will bring cooking classes to the 21st century! What we envision is that participants will enter the cooking room and be transported to the kitchen of a top chef through 360° projection screens. Then they will go through a virtual harvesting experience to understand the quality and sourcing of the products they will use in the recipe. Then they will be taught the recipe by the top chef projected on the screen and each station will have an interactive display to guide them step by step through the recipe.
