An open-source builder community for creative engineering, run on four rules: build every day, start with what you own, if it runs it counts, and read other people's code. Everything is free and MIT licensed. 1,500+ members.
Orcas v1.5 — a 30-day software cohort where 10 builders each shipped one project a day using Python, locally-run models and webcam input. All 30 are open-source on GitHub.
Orcas v2.0 — an in-person hardware cohort at Turin Polytechnic Lyceum in Tashkent, 15-24 August 2026, with hardware kits through a partnership with Nazarx Robotics.
Stack: Python, Ollama, webcam and gesture input, robotics hardware, GitHub
