The Makehub online platform, created by Hackidemia, provides a layer of meaning and action for the vast world of maker projects found across the internet. The app does this in the following ways:
• Users can save projects to their personal lab to share, revisit, and remix later.
• Users can create custom kits and buy the required materials for any project directly through Makehub platform.
• Our app connects makers and educators with related content, activities, and curriculum from across the web.

Workshop at NYU Impact conference 2015 in which participants can remix each other music making prototypes. Each iteration of remixing will follow a different constraint. Inspired by the traditional Chinese whispers game and this post card player (http://uniform.net/work/projects/uniform-postcard-player/) project we would like to create a workshops where participants would create and remix each others musical boxes and cards. Each iteration will respect different constraints in regards to materials that could be used or number of modifications that could be made.

Making the DIY MICROSCOPE includes converting an ordinary webcam into a microscope. The webcam’s conversion can be quickly effected manually. The electronics remains unaltered, only the position of the lens is changed. A solid platform enables fixing and accurately focusing the tiny study objects. The objects are illuminated with a light-emitting diode (LED).
Javascript robotics programming framework
Light installations for DIY sensors and Twitter
This project was build in three stages. Each stage advances in difficulty so there is something for the novice as well as the more advanced.
Stage One: Use an Arduino to build an LED light that will change its color by sending a tweet!
Stage Two: Use a sensor of your choice to gather some data. For example, a moisture sensor that will report when water levels in a plant are getting dangerously low.
Stage Three: Combine stage one and stage two to create an alert system that changes the LED color when a critical data metric has occurred. For example, have the LED turn green when moisture level is low and the plant needs to be watered. Use javascript/html to make a basic webapp that illustrates this data on your localhost.
