Hey everybody, Welcome to the GVU center kickoff rail bag for all 2021. It's great to see so many people on. My name is Keith Edwards and I'm the Director of the GPU Center. And today I want to tell you a little bit about what the GPU center is, what this brown bag is. And we'll also hear a little bit more about some, some new exciting projects coming up. I'm assuming you can all hear me if not, just give a shout to the moderator and he will, he will let me know. So again, welcome to the GPU Brown Bag Seminar. Today I'm going to give you kind of a whirlwind overview of the GPU, center it so that the resources and opportunities that it makes available for students will also get a quick preview of some of the upcoming events for the fall. And we'll hear from our recent research and engagement grant winners about some exciting new projects there'll be going on this year. So if you're a new student here, I want to welcome you. It's really a pleasure to have you at the GPU brown bag. We're here to be a community for you all and to what you all. So what is this thing called? The GPU brown bag? What's this event? Actually, it's one of the oldest continually running lecture series on campus. And it's a great way for a community of people across campus who are interested in the topics that we're interested in to come together. And one of those topics broadly, we focus on the human experience that interactive technology. So you'll see talks about gaming, graphics, digital media, HCI, music technology, health IT, kinda view, name it. A bunch of interesting stuff. Every Thursday at this time, 1230 to 120. And as I think many of you are aware, there's an optional one course credit, one credit course leather that you can sign up for. If you need an extra credit in your in your schedule. Csa 1000, one dash GV, you obviously we're remote this year. We had hoped to be face-to-face, but with construction going on in our building and the continued pandemic, we thought it was best to be remote again. When we're back face-to-face, we look forward to having lunch with you all. It's one of the great traditions of the brown bag that we provide lunch during these the seminars. Here's here's some of the talks will be hearing this. The semester. We have a really good lineup of both internal and external speakers. I think we have a really good series this year, will probably fill in a few more slots. So keep your eye on the schedule. We will update that as we go as you fill in more slots, but this is currently who we have booked. So a few words about brand bag etiquette. Though. Obviously all of our talks are going to be held, the blue jeans events this fall, but it'll also be recorded and available afterwards. So just check GPU websites where you can find talks that you've, you've missed there. If you've got a question, this is obviously not quite as easy to work in a, in a remote setting. It's face-to-face. But if you've got a question, just speak up in the chat or raise your hand. In the Q and a. And a moderator will keep an eye on that and we'll ask the speaker questions. And if you're taking the one credit hour seminar associated with the brown bag, please just be sure that you're logging into BlueJeans events using RGT credentials. So we certainly know that you're here. So that's the brown bag. What's this GPU thing that I keep talking about? Well, GPU is a university-wide interdisciplinary research unit on campus. And our mission and our mandate is to help focus and lead Georgia Tech Research that's at the intersection of computing and people. Though there are great many purely technically focused research centers on campus. But really our mandate is to be at that intersection of computing and people. And that's what makes us different special. We do a lot of work interacting with industry. We provide connections to industry. We have an industry advisory board that we try to connect to your research. So we try to play that role. And a big part of what we do is we invest a lot in infrastructure and lab supports that are available to you all here to make you successful during your time at Georgia Tech. And you'll hear a little bit more about that as we go on. So the sinners now over 25 years old, the name GPU comes from its original name, the Graphics Visualization and Usability, cetera. Although now we pretty much cover all aspects of interactive technology, so way more than just G, The v and u. So we still use that acronym, but we don't usually unpack it since we knew so much more than Graphics, Visualization and Usability. In fact, if you look at the scale of the center, we have about a 100 faculty representing all six colleges at Georgia Tech and almost 400 students and represented programs. You see some of those listed here on the right. So we're fairly large organization and connect, can connect you pretty well. The other parts of campus. Here's some of the faces that you may see. So again, Keith, I'm the director. The other folks that you're most likely to run into as you interact with GPU, our jury tailor our program, an OPS manager. Josh pressed in our communications officer and Tim Trent, he was our research technologist and manages all of our all of our labs. Though, what does GPU do and how can you participate? Well, the first thing and the most important thing is get on the mailing list. We have a number of opportunities and ways to engage throughout the semester. And you won't hear about those if you're not on the mailing list. So instructions here, mailman dot cc dot.edu. For grads. You should sign up for GPU students grad and for undergrads GPU students you grad. You'll see if you go to the mailman site, many, many GPU related lists, but these are the ones that you want. If there are any external folks with us today. The URL at the bottom we'll, we'll connect you with. So here's a few of the events that we have planned for the fall and spring. I'm using this list is quite a bit longer. To be to be honest. Obviously was still so many things being remotes. It's a little, a little scarcer than usual. But we have a number of GPU and that's coming up in late October. Our research showcase, student awards, events and our advisory board meeting, which will be late October. A couple of interesting things going on around Georgia Tech kind of wanted to call your attention to. The information plus conference is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together information design, a data visualization people. It was supposed to happen last year but was postponed due to COVID. Our own Yani lucky, this is the organizer and there's quite a large THE presence at that. It will be online. And you should definitely check that out. Looks really interesting. Gives me the other thing that may be of interest to you. And there's really one of my favorite events on campus is the Guzman musical instruments competition, which will be March this year. It's really an awesome event. Basically, participants create, perform entirely new musical instruments of the road design. And it's truly a fantastic thing to, to see. And there are also some events from our sister organization, the institute for people in technology. But I'll talk about in just a minute. But before I do that, I want to talk especially about this thing called the research showcase. The research showcase, you can basically think Open House, almost science fair that the GPU Center organizes to show off your work. We have traditionally had this as a face-to-face event in which we usually draw several 100 people from industry and beyond to the text square research building. And it's really a great opportunity for you to show off your work. This year. We're planning on being virtual for the obvious reasons. And so what that means is that you will see, you'll get an email call from us to basically record a short video. We'll project that you're working on, something that you're passionate about and maybe your research project or, or some other thing that you're working on. And we will collect all these. We will cure rate them, put them on the website. And we are planning for a launch event, October 2007, where we basically released to the public. We generally get really good viewership and participation of these. So if you're a student and you want to connect with industry or call attention to your work. We want to make sure that you, you participate in this because it's really a great way to show off. The other thing. The other reasons do this beyond just the turtle favorite glory being on the web, is that participation and GPU that's like this, is a requirement for eligibility for a number of things that we do. Student awards, travel grants to somebody, other perks that that uvula. So I really hope you'll participate. I mentioned briefly that we have a sister organization, the institute for people and technology, which is what a Georgia Tech's interdisciplinary research institutes. And if you're interested in GPU topic areas, you'll probably also be variations to the things that Pat does. Ipad will be kicking things off for the fall town hall meeting. September 9. You'll get the chance to meet faculty, meet staff, find out about some of the research going on an iPad. So I encourage you to participate in that. The other iPad event that'll be of special interest to our community is the regular thirsty think tanks that iPad holes. These are weekly informal gatherings of the community to talk about current and future research activities. And it's really kind of amazing. Ipad convenes a set of people that are interested in a given topic. And these are just informal brainstorming sessions, but some really amazing research projects have come out of those and they're a great way to build the community. Again. I'm, and finally, one of the largest things that iPad does is called a convergence innovation competition. This is a bi-annual competition in which student teams create working prototypes of interactive technology. And this has now gone on for 15 years. There are about 200 students a year that participate. In this competition. And it's a really great way to get exposure for your project, to connect with industry. And you get real-world feedback. And there's some fairly substantial prizes for this. Cic dot detected EDU is the URL for it. It's sponsored by Verizon this year. I just check out the website if you want to learn more. Obviously, we don't have time today to go into a lot of detail, but this is a great event. And here are a few of the key dates for, for the competition. So against the submission deadline is November 7th. Think. Now I mentioned that the GPU Center provides quite a bit of support in form of labs that are available to any student who's associated with the GPU sooner that you can take advantage of. I'm going to ask Tim Trent's our research technologists to take over sharing for a moment and walk us through some of the labs support that we have him. Okay, Let's hope it make sure that I can actually share my screen properly. This is always a problem for me. We'll get through it together. Though. Hello, good afternoon, everybody. I am a trend for that answer is, if nothing else, the first question you had is in front of you. Well, and Trent, as Keith said, I am a research team just for the youth center, which actually means I do a lot of different things. But specifically, I'm here as the GPU resource lab manager. I offices in TSR be 215, which puts me convenient place for you to come ask me questions about our resource labs. These are infrastructure based labs that we provide, like he said, to the entire Georgia Tech Community. And so I'm going to set through and talk through a couple of them. First off, we have the prototyping. This is a pretty standard makerspace in the basement of TSR be. It has things like laser cutters, woodshop and everything. And it's really there to help you make prototypes and sort of hazy ideas that you might have projects in designs and turn them into full demonstrable objects. Like I said, it can be used for personal projects, academic projects, or research projects. Sort of the big thing that we have hard line on is all of the equipment is Georgia Tech equipment. And so if you try to make money off of it, you are profiting from state resources and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation will be very unhappy with you. So don't try to do that. We do have regular safety orientations. It's a little bit odd because of the pandemic, but if you're interested, please reach out, feel free to drop by or send me an email and we'll get you started. Again. This lab has just a number of cool different things. The laser cutters, one of the biggest ones that I like to emphasize because it's a fun piece of equipment and it's easy for people to get started on. But we've got a full woodshop, we've got some industrial 3D printers. We've got electronics workstations that can help you build all sorts of circuits. Though it is a really cool space and we are always looking for ways to improve it. The GPU Center also offers the usability lab, which period space that's designed for both recording user studies as well. It's just sort of general project demos. So you can come in and just say, Hey, I have a thing and I want to create a video for the research showcase. And this so that you can do it. We've outfitted it with a whole bunch of different equipment to make things like this possible. And again, it's got sort of the same rules as the prototyping lab where come in for academic research projects, whatever you want to do. And again, we just can't really do anything that you're going to try and make money off of. And since it's recording space, you can't just waltz and whenever we do need you to reserve time with it. But some of the equipment that we have in here, we've got ceiling mounted microphones directed to straight dedicated soundboard and computer. So you can really just go in and start getting audio by pressing go. We've got some poor case cinema cameras. We've got devices to help with mobile interactions and eye tracking. So there's a lot of really cool equipment in here as well. We also have a few things to look forward to. Some of the stuff that we're getting in that I know is either on its way or on its way. Soon, we've got a water jet coming to the prototyping lab. We've got the CNC wire bender, which will enable all sorts of crazy things like that. And just a bunch of fun stuff along those lines. So, you know, especially if you have already been to the labs before, be on the lookout for some of this new stuff and reach out if you're interested in it. We're also opening a new lab. I can't or won't give too many details on it yet just because I don't want anyone to get too excited. But this will be the GPU computational craft in textiles lab, or as I like to call it, the craft lab. And it's going to be focused a lot on sewing equipment II textiles, sort of what it says on the tin is what we're aiming for. And that's hopefully within the next couple of semesters, but we'll see. And as part of that, we do have to sort of acknowledge the elephant in the room being in a pandemic. So the goal is to be keeping these labs as open as possible. Given all of our safety concerns, we are still doing enhance cleaning procedures. We still require masks and everything in the prototyping lab, given just general environmental hazards. We're going to be following, GET guidance and stay open as much as possible, but as safely as we can. So if you want more info, I am very clever with naming things on the web. The main GPU website is gdb.gov tech that edu websites for any of the labs are proto lab, usability lab or crack lab dot GPU.gov tech daddy, you because I like to be smart like that. Same thing. We have mailing lists for the lab staff, hurdle lab at scc.gov tech.edu, usability lab, FCC.gov tech.edu. Or if you just want to send me a question, you can simply send it to Timothy trend at scc.gov tech.edu. I'm going to not take any more time from the brown bag, but I will be hanging out in chat or you can send a message to me if you have any questions. Thanks. Thanks so much Tim. That's, that's great. It's really exciting to see the new facilities that are. There'll be showing up in the, in the lab soon. So the labs are one of the ways that we try to support students. One of the other things that we traditionally offer is trouble funding for students to attend conferences. Unfortunately, this is on hold right now due to state travel restrictions, but we hope to get back to this, hopefully even this semester. But we can provide $300 domestic and $500 International for travel to conferences. With some restrictions. You're limited to the debris and get a year and various other things. You have to follow all the GC travel procedures, of course. But we hope to be bringing this back very soon because it's a great resource for our students. The other thing we do is we really try to promote the work of our students. And we do this do it awards program. There are two major awards categories that we have for graduate students to fully Scholars Award, which is for PhD students. And the GPU distinguished master's student award, which is obviously for master's students. We do this annually. So the call for nominations for these will come out late spring, early summer. We do a first-stage review process where Georgia Tech faculty window the applicant stand into a set of finalists. And then our industry advisory board selects the winners from that. And we'll be announcing the winners later in October. So we're currently in the final phase of that. These are fairly substantial award. So the fully scholars award provides cash gift of $5 thousand and the distinguished master student a cash gift of $1000 to the students who are selected. So keep an eye out for or that call whenever it comes the end, it'll be late spring. I did want to give a shout out to our final list this year. So here are fully Scholars finalist, Adriana Alvarado Garcia, editor or war. There had been more should the police on a list or Rumsey brush to Shamir a, Chelsea weighing and Janice Shane. So congratulations to all of them. We'll find out which ones are winners a little bit later the fall. And to RGB, you distinguish master student finalists, Grace Park AF Ali in this day and Josh Terry. So congratulations to all of them. And we look forward to seeing some of the people, new students who were on this, on this all nominate themselves in the future. So I've talked a whole lot about the things that we do for students. It turns out the GPU also does things for faculty. We provide seed funding for faculty to launch new initiatives. And these are our research and engagement grants. And research grants. You're basically intended to provide seed funding to start a new research projects. And engagement grants are basically new projects that try to bring the community together. It's had a way like a workshop or special ora or outreach. We just at the start of the fall semester, announced the three winners. This year is round of research and engagement grants. And so we're going to ask them to give short presentations that tell us about the projects There'll be working on just about five minutes each. These projects will be going on over the course of the fall and spring. And we will hear from them again at the end of the spring semester and find out how these how these turned out. So let me turn it over to Anton first. I'll let Anton unmute and start sharing. Oh, I think you have to unshare. Oh, yep. Sorry. There we go. Okay. Can everyone see my slide? Yes. Okay. Great. All right. Hi, my name is Anton and I'm a PhD student and human centered computing. And I'm advised by Dr. Carl Salvo and doctor a lawyer ramen in this research and is focused on understanding conviction data. Though, since the pandemic at Rama's, one of the hardest hit US cities in regards to evictions. This is taken from a Bloomberg article and you can see that we have ranks first as being the worst in regards to evictions. And despite the CDC moratorium, evictions rows in August and September of last year. And that has the percentage of households in Georgia with red debt has more than doubled from 15 to 31%. And so at the start of the pandemic, there was a combine institutional effort between Georgia Tech. Yet we're on our Regional Commission and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta to scrape the CT data portals of all the eviction records to get a sense of the eviction situation here in metro Atlanta. And they made this data public to an extent. And what you're seeing is a screenshot of their public data visualization. You probably also noticed that Fulton County is grayed out. And this is because Fulton County has removed all address level eviction data information in the eviction records September of last year. So while this data is useful for institutions, there's only so much that they can really do with it because of their commitment to objectivity and mitigating reputational risk. So this data, though it's also really useful to grassroots activists organizations and it's been provided to a local grassroots organization called housing justice league. Housing justice league operates and addiction hotline. And that they started at the beginning of the pandemic. And their goal is to provide resources. A lot of tenants don't know about the moratorium or understand how to navigate that bureaucracy, and to then move those tenants towards forming tenant unions and organizing against their landlords. So part of this research has involved creating their own evictions dashboard, which is what you see to the right right here. And this is just a diagram that shows the flow of the court eviction data or what we understand of it right now. So a landlord will file for an eviction against the tenant and a record is created in all of the different county record portals. Tenants are over-represented in the records, and landlords can hide behind LLCs and shell companies and agents. And then this data is pulled by credit scoring algorithms. And this can often harm tenants and their ability to get housing after they have been evicted or just have an eviction on record. So there's a lot of vulnerability that tenant space them this data, but very minimal vulnerability that landlords face. So this data is now being scraped and that's housed at the Center for Spatial Planning and analytics database here at Georgia Tech. And then the database here at Georgia Tech is what is powering the Atlanta regional commissions eviction tracker, which you just saw. And it's also being used in the housing justice league eviction dashboard that you also just saw. And one of the uses that grassroots organizations want to have with having this court record data is to just identify eviction hotspots. This lets these organizations know where they can Canvas, where they can deploy resources like eviction manuals and basically help people who are facing eviction. So sort of what our research is. The big question that our research is trying to answer is understanding this eviction data as a boundary object. Or two actors that don't traditionally work together. Activists and housing institutions are often in a sort of adversarial position to each other, but this court eviction data is bringing them together and creating sort of cooperation amongst the different housing actors here in Atlanta. So tan data create a civic Kamen's between adversarial actors. Adam does joining grassroots data and institutional data, materialized forms of participatory design. And that's something we're trying to answer with the dashboard recreating by joining the hotline data that housing justice we collects with the institutional data that the Fed and ARC are scraping from the courts. The next steps in this research is to conduct interviews and observations to understand the labor involved in producing these eviction records and eviction data. There are a lot of other parties involved beyond what you've what I've just shown, like third party victors. Law firms, court clerks that enter this data. The data has a lot of discrepancies in it. And then continuing to build out the housing justice, the evictions dashboard to continue to see how this data is forming participants, participation across different actors. And that's PID. Are we doing questions? Just did. Thanks so much and time. I would ask if if audience members have questions, please post to the Q&A and we'll take a look at them there. And Todd, you can maybe answer them online, but just stay on time. Let's move on to our next indentation if you do odd. So Lisa marks and no, a Posner, we'll be telling us about a new grant focused on textile workshops. And I will let them take it away. Hello. My name is I'm an assistant professor in Industrial Design and I'll be working with now a Posner, we can say, Hang on. Okay, So hi, I'm Noah Posner. I am a research scientist within CSP bad, as well as the lab manager for the interactive product design lab within the School of Industrial Design. I think so. So a man, Noah, are developing and will be running a series of textile workshops with our EDU, iPad, GTR, a research and engagement brand. And so first to introduce ourselves a little bit more. This is some of my work that I do as a, as a faculty and industrial design. In general, I look at traditional forms of culturally relevant handcraft. And I apply, I apply a different visual scripting and algorithmic methods to make new patterns and our new materials. So some examples that I've worked on have been knit bamboo products, design methods, parametric, 3D modeling, and three-dimensional least sprouts that are custom-made for women with mastectomies or new methods of creating complex needing patterns for overshot meeting, which has been a method and declined since about 1935. So these are just a few examples of projects that I am currently working on or off what palm on the cost. And nobody could stop you work for. Yeah. So within the eye PDL, we focus on the integration of sensor technologies with the practice of product design. And so bringing in kind of novel sensing techniques into the way we make products that people can actually use in every day. We have a rich history of doing wearable electronics within the lab. But several years ago we hosted a wearable computing symposium. And I also do some other work involved with creating educational devices, each kind of physical computing to K2 our students and we're doing a lot of interesting research creating artifacts in that space as well. Yes. So I PDL as well as a lot of different labs around Georgia Tech has done some amazing work with wearable computing. But one of the things that is more rare to see is that the sensors are really integrated into the structure of the fabric. And, you know, we have students who know a lot about textile, the math students that know a lot about electronics. But it's a, really bring those two together. We need to have some projects that are a little bit more integrated. And we are so fortunate at the GPU to the new a textile lab coming up. As Tim said, we can't get anybody too excited about all the possibilities. But these are examples of some machines that possibly could be used to create cloth, weaving, knitting, and embroidery. And although some of this type of technology may be available, I don't know about everybody viewing this, but the first time I saw these machines, I thought, Wow, that's a little bit intimidating. There must be a little bit of a learning curve to these. Certainly if I've never opened before, this might not be the firstly, what I wanted to engage with. So we are aiming to lower that learning curve to create engagement with the new lab for a lot of different majors around campus. And we're going to be engaging with all three of these through these types of machines that make weaving, knitting and embroidery a little bit easier and will be a stepping stone to in the future engage with some of more complicated machines. So we're very much hoping that especially unexperienced unless they were able to really engage with that loud. But depending on construction updates and things, this could also happen if IPD else and we're not sure of exactly the location, but we are sure that they're going to be some really fun weaving, knitting, embroidery workshops that will be available in the coming months. Now these are projects that have been done by other people, but they're projects that are very similar to things that we may propose. And we're going to take the first chunk of time to really experiment and come up with some really fun and unique. Workshops but maybe not what do you all levels through what some of the possibilities is powerful? Yes. Uh, this is some previous work that's been done and there's been work similar to this that's actually been done on campus as well. And so our first order of business is to explore what sensor feel that can make on the tools that we're using, but also are interesting. So what we have here is tricks like a keypad from both in woven method, nicht, inflation sensors that can detect the inflation of a balloon. And then the one with the spoon there is that embroidered potentiometer. So we're going to explore a whole range of these kind of this semester in planning this workshop at that deliver these workshops to go next semester? Yes. So each of the workshops, although, you know, like like we're saying, we're developing them now we can say that each of the workshops will be kind of a 11 day experience. We're hoping that people will be interested in doing all three as a series. But each of them will involve talking about the history of the text style and where it comes from. Actually getting on a knitting machine or the computer and doing some CNC embroidery and having a working integrated sensor and a working product by the time you leave within just a few hours. As well as brainstorming how those connect to a variety of different deal. So judging from students who have registered for my past classes over the last few years, and also professors who say it would be interesting for their students to engage, expect to see people from Brown. And we'll see some industrial design, architecture or material science engineering kind of all around campus. So be a great way to get to know people from other fields that you don't meet all the time. It'll be a great way to engage with one of the newer labs coming up. And and we're hoping it'll be a great way to see how a text styles can help you with your work in your individual fields. We know that a lot of you are interested in. We get this evening. Thanks so much, That's fantastic. I always love seeing the slides because not only they really cool, they're just aesthetically beautiful to you via the things that you've met it. I notice you already have some questions in the Q and a, so you might want to take a look over there to address those. And I will say for our attendees, this is yet another reason to make sure that you're on that student mailing list because I'm assuming whatever the workshop surveyor to go, we'll be announcing those on the student mailing lists. If you've learned about equipment and these capabilities, that's how you would you would find out. So thank you so much. Awesome. Thank you very much. I'll address that question in the chat. Thank you. And last but far from least I will turn it over to Matt has many to talk about our third and final project. Shackleton clients and my school. Yes. Hi everyone. I am I'm a PhD student in the School of Computer Science. I'm advice right up if you showed Ramachandran and today I'm going to be if there's anything proposal for the gym, new iPad, and he's such an engagement guy. So they've kinda talking about bees and placing information access. Though. And today, we rely on the Internet, but pretty much much apply to everyday life. They, starting from Google Maps and poor ordering and even bloodshot plots this. And the way the services that architected is that when you have some, we have a clothes and which basically it's like there's a datacenter or the data corresponding to these services are posted. And then you have multiple participants, for example, indicates of online learning or videoconferencing. You have a teacher who is connected to their hometown and then they access. And that had multiple students who had also connected to each other that on our doors at home. And these though it does that and done connected there with the white area. And the psoas which hosted in the data center as the ones that facilitate that videoconferencing, for example. Now, why is this not necessarily regrade? So over the course of the pandemic, we have seen that the access to Internet has been a constant point of concern. That have been reports of students falling behind on this globe, at least partly attributed to lack of consistent intimate access and so on. And obviously the problem is exacerbated in low-income neighborhoods. So the question we're trying to ask is, do we really mean the same place? Infrastructure running many of these. So this is like video gotten fencing lessons. So instead what they're proposing to do is a more bees and glazed kind of architecture where you have these different neighborhoods and they are connected to a community Wi-Fi network. And instead I'd like instead an edge. So it was an edge. So it is essentially like a wood which is hosted in the community. And it's going to soap gone through and do the participants who are connected to the same network as this Ola can be stored aligns on the way data and connect them. That's the question that you're trying to ask for this project. So essentially what this would enable is 0 if the B shows and students are on the same local area network to a community Wi-Fi, then they wouldn't need access to the Internet in order to be in the WTO contents. Now, this is good because this reduces the cost of having access to the Internet. You only need a single Internet connection. Instead of having multiple individual connections to the Internet through the cell. Does. Though. How we plan to go about that is to work with the usaid community, which fonts and the local Min, median and come back in. And we want to identify the ink of information access vitamins, pick it out. What does the, what is the information but a sought after that. What is the state of Internet infrastructure in the neighborhood? Who are the providers? What is a, what are the ways of sharing information? Our people, attending classes and so on. And then to create a more decent place kind of platform and are designed to expedients uses which would be intuitive and at the same time not have such a steep learning curve. And also pick it out of this. Technology is going to be easy to maintain an adult in the future. Though. Toward that presentation, any questions? Please pose two cysteines in the, in the Q and a. If you, if you have them, this is a fantastic, It's a really exciting project. I love this idea of the sort of neighborhood infrastructure that can be purpose toward the neighborhoods. Neighborhoods needs. That's, that's fantastic. The switch back here. So, so those are our three winners for our research and engagement grants this year.
