Want to build the future of mindfulness technology?
We combine engineering, design, and contemplative practice to create new ways for people to manage stress, sharpen awareness, and support well-being.
If you like building things, experimenting, and helping others, join us.

Opportunities include:

• Undergraduate research projects

• Senior capstone projects in ECE, CS, Industrial Design, and related fields

• Graduate research collaborations

• Hackathons and design challenges

• Access to our Tinker List of inspiring devices to build, modify, or reverse-engineer

Instead of focusing only on clinical tools, we aim to spark a hands-on movement within the embedded systems community.
Just as past generations built radios, drones, or robots, we invite today’s engineers to create their own “mindfulness cocoons” — devices and spaces that support calm, focus, and joy.

Your support will help us:

• Build a library of open-source designs and tutorials

• Host playful competitions and community workshops

• Provide students with materials, tools, and mentorship

• Keep projects low-cost, open-access, and student-led

Ways to contribute:

• Financial donations (fund projects, competitions, and student stipends)

• Equipment donations (see our Tinker List for inspiration)

• Sponsorship of student teams or events

We’re building a lab at the intersection of art, technology, and mindfulness, and we need your creative touch.
If you can create a logo, posters, graphics, videos, or installations, your work will help define the lab’s story and inspire others to join.

Possible projects:

• Lab branding and promotional materials

• Visual or audio art for immersive mindfulness spaces

• Interactive installations blending art and biofeedback

Not a student, donor, or artist? You can still play a big role.
We welcome support from anyone who shares our vision:

• Professors or researchers in any discipline who want to collaborate

• Labs with unused equipment or materials to repurpose

• Wellness practitioners who can share techniques and resources

• Local makers or hobbyists with tools or technical skills to share

• Anyone with low-tech mindfulness props (yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, lighting, instruments, etc.)

No contribution is too small — from a single LED to a shared idea.
Reach out if you:

• Have something from our Tinker List you can donate

• Know a company that might provide equipment or sponsorship

• Want to volunteer time, expertise, or connections
