DIY kits for racing simulators
Simulation racing is an exciting and immersive way to experience motorsports, but the required equipment is often expensive and difficult to access. Steering wheels, pedals, and other essential components can be a significant investment, discouraging many enthusiasts from getting started. Additionally, there is a broader challenge: many people are interested in building things themselves but don’t know where to begin or lack the right resources and guidance.

The semiconductor industry faces a significant silicon waste problem, with nearly 75% of the material lost during production. Current recycling rates for Si and SiC are extremely low (around 5%), and existing recycling methods are costly and inefficient. Europe’s heavy reliance on imported Si and SiC from Southeast Asia creates supply chain vulnerabilities, exacerbating risks during global semiconductor shortages. A sustainable, circular approach to silicon waste recovery is urgently needed to enhance resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and secure a stable supply of critical raw materials.

Many businesses in Africa rely on outdated or low-performance computers, which are slow, prone to crashing, and expensive to maintain. Traditional desktop PCs take up space and consume more power, making them less ideal for small businesses, startups, and schools. Despite the growing demand for technology, powerful mini PCs are not widely available.

There are about 1.5 million blind children worldwide, and this number appears to be growing. with many lacking access to performing arts education, which is vital for developing motor skills, enhancing body awareness, and boosting confidence. This disparity became evident to me when a young girl at a cancer home responded to my question about her future aspirations with, "What could I possibly be?" Determined to make a difference, I co-founded Neysa, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching performing arts to underprivileged communities in India, impacting over 500 children and elderly individuals. Building on this experience, we aim to extend our reach to visually impaired children, providing them with accessible dance therapy to promote holistic well-being and empowerment.

AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, but for companies handling sensitive information—such as software firms or high-tech giants like ASML—data security is a top priority. Public AI models, such as ChatGPT, pose risks as confidential information could leak or be exposed to third parties. Many businesses recognize AI’s potential but lack the technical expertise to implement it safely. They struggle to balance innovation with security, often delaying AI adoption due to these concerns.

Modern workspaces lack lighting that supports our natural rhythms, disrupting the balance between work and rest. Poorly designed lighting fails to energize us during the day or prepare us for rest at night, leading to fatigue, reduced productivity, and long-term health issues. This imbalance creates a disconnect from the natural flow of light our bodies crave, leaving us drained and unfocused. The result? A workforce struggling to perform at its best, both mentally and physically, in environments that ignore the profound impact of biologically effective light on our well-being.
