Added Bambu Lab P1S + AMS 2 Pro Combo for multi-material 3D printing and rapid prototyping; Ultracortex Mark IV EEG Headset with Cyton biosensing board for BCI and neurotech research; and OpenBCI EXG Experiment Bundle for hands-on EEG/EMG/ECG workshops and education. These expand our digital fabrication and biosensing capabilities for labs and student projects.
Added Sony mocopi Pro Kit and SeeTrue Technologies ST ONE mobile eye tracker to the hardware catalog. These new systems expand our capabilities in full-body motion capture, gaze tracking, and multimodal human-sensing, supporting XR embodiment, HCI research, and naturalistic user studies. Both devices are marked as coming soon.
The hardware collection now includes wearable motion capture and mobile eye tracking systems. Sony mocopi Pro Kit enables fast, portable full-body capture, while the ST ONE eye tracker supports robust gaze tracking in real-world and XR scenarios. Together, they strengthen our toolkit for embodied interaction, XR research, and multimodal experiments.
Completely revised hardware categories and related items across the entire catalog. Consolidated biosensing categories, added FPGA tags to AMD Kria boards, introduced new 'Prototyping' category, and optimized cross-linking between similar hardware for better discoverability.
Added OpenBCI Biosensing Starter Bundle and EmotiBit Bundle to the hardware collection. Both platforms coming soon for physiological data acquisition, enabling research in neuroscience, affective computing, and human-computer interaction.
Added Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB), multiple ESP32 development boards (ESP32-C6, ESP32-S3), and comprehensive starter kits to the hardware collection. Complete ecosystem now available for prototyping IoT sensors, edge computing, and embedded systems projects with cross-platform accessories.
A collaborative Robotics & AI hackathon with Robotics Nation brought together more than 45 participants for a full weekend of building, testing ideas, and working in teams. Awesome vibes and lots of cool prototypes.
Several Alif Ensemble DevKits joined the hardware library, opening up new possibilities for low-power AI/ML and embedded system experiments.
The first weekly build session kicked off with 20+ participants. Relaxed and creative atmosphere, with people tinkering, chatting, and starting small spontaneous projects together.
A booth at TUAS introduced the organization and its activities to a wider crowd. Many students stopped by to explore the hardware, learn about upcoming build sessions, and share their own ideas.
We organized our co-working space at Startup Sauna and invited people to join. A great chance to work together, share ideas, and build momentum for upcoming projects.
Doublepoint developer kits were added to the hardware collection, giving everyone a chance to try out wrist-based gesture and hand-tracking tech. Great for anyone curious about new interaction ideas.
The battery for our robot finally arrived! Now everyone can experiment hands-on with 'Lindy' and start testing new prototypes and interactions.
Held a meeting with Alif Semiconductor. They agreed to support us by providing development boards for our community projects.
Purchased and configured a powerful custom-built computer, named *Shelby*, to support our compute-intensive research and prototyping tasks.
Acquired the Nexys A7 FPGA Trainer Board and established a collaboration with Doublepoint. They kindly agreed to provide us with two developer kits.
Hosted our very first community meetup, bringing together over 70 participants. Great energy, ideas, and momentum for what’s ahead.
Thinkin’ Rocks has been officially registered as an organization. A huge step forward in building a strong foundation for our community.
Presented Thinkin’ Rocks for the first time at Explore Aaltoes. Shared our vision with 150+ people and received enthusiastic feedback.
Acquired our very first shared computer, a Lenovo Legion T5, marking the beginning of our hardware collection.
Established a collaboration with Varjo. They generously provided us with three Varjo XR-3 headsets for immersive development and R&D.
Placed our first major hardware acquisitions: Tenstorrent Blackhole, FPGA boards, Jetson Nano, and Oak-D Pro camera. The lab is starting to take shape!
