Phonebloks

 

THE PROBLEM
A phone only lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although it's often just one part that killed it, we throw everything away because it's almost impossible to repair or upgrade.

DESIGNED TO LAST
Phoneblok is made of detachable bloks. The bloks are connected to the base which locks everything together into a solid phone. If a blok breaks you can easily replace it; if it's getting old just upgrade.

BLOKSTORE
It's like an app store for hardware. In the store you buy your bloks, read reviews and sell old bloks. Small and big companies develop and sell their bloks. You can buy a pre-assembled phone or assemble it yourself by selecting the brands you want to support. The choice is yours...

Titan Arm

Our team is designing an untethered, powered, upper body exoskeleton for use in the fields of rehabilitation and therapeutic application, as well as occupations requiring augmented strength. Though systems exist, past exoskeleton endeavours have led to bulky, expensive, invasive, and tethered solutions. The challenge is to build an exoskeletal system that is inexpensive, streamlined, and wireless.

Our solution is unique in that it will be a low-cost, ergonomic device actuated through sensors measuring the user’s motion. Through onboard sensing, the skeleton can provide rich data, such as range of motion for use in physical therapy. This data can be used by doctors and patients to more accurately track improvement over time. With its low cost, hospitals could employ multiple devices and aid a larger audience of patients; the devices could even be used at home for physical therapy, which would dramatically increase quality of life for patients.

Outside of physical therapy, augmented strength is applicable to physically intensive occupations, as well as search and rescue operations. Each year, thousands of workers must take leave due to injuries triggered by heavy lifting; with augmented strength, workers could avoid harmful situations.

CatchBox

 

We want to get people eating local seafood again.
We also think responsible fishermen should be paid a fair price for their catch.
We hope you do too.

How it works

Catchbox is a type of cooperative known as a "Community Supported Fishery". We connect you with small fishermen who use responsible methods, so that you can enjoy delicious, locally caught seafood with a clear conscience. We are a not-for-profit community co-op, run by volunteers.

You pay for a share of a fisherman's catch and over a 10 week period you'll get a regular supply of seafood, straight from him.

You choose whether you want whole fish or fillets, on a weekly or fortnightly basis, enough for two or family size.

You won't get to choose what fish you’ll be getting, it depends on what our fishermen catch that day. But that’s all part of the fun! We can guarantee that it will be fresh, local, responsibly sourced and utterly delicious.
