Chantel: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Indigeponics provides educational resources for communities to grow their own food using sustainable growing systems, like hydroponic systems. In the past, we had a demonstrational greenhouse that encouraged communities to interact with plants in a unique space that combines science, technology, and culture from an indigenous perspective. Currently, we provide free resources for communities about the basics of hydroponics, plant needs like light, nutrition, and water, and different types of hydroponic systems. Overall, our goal is to continue help others grow tasty food that is easily accessible and culturally relevant to bring communities together through food and kindness.
Tejas: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. I am on a mission to make train rides smoother and safer for everyone. Imagine tiny robots, like detectives, exploring subway tracks with their smart artificial intelligence (AI) tools. They can see things we can't, like tiny cracks or things out of place, and they tell us what needs fixing. This way, we can make repairs before anything goes wrong, keeping your subway rides on time and without any hiccups. It's like giving the subway tracks a health check-up, ensuring they're always in top shape for your journey!
