Your job is to make a tool that helps reconnect local health emergencies to local influencers who may be motivated to help. This will involve using APIs from Tiktok, Instagram etc, but mapping these against local health statistics in..."

The acquisition of Twitter by Musk demonstrates how much influence one person can express by changing the platform to his liking where users have no say in the direction of the platform. Your assignment is to create a peer 2 peer honest social network: a social network that has no central server that anyone can join freely. You'll need to find or define a protocol that allows users to communicate..."

The goal of this project is to build a web application which, when given a movie or a book, would present a cluster of books, movies and songs that are related to it by often being mentioned online together. It would be cool to see how clusters of “tastes” form and how books, movies and music from the same..." current

Most of this excludes real knowledge of real places, from the girls excluded from education in Afghanistan, to the women who teach their own families all over the world. Your goal is to make an alternative wiki architecture, where the benchmark of knowledge is not who has the most..."
