🎁 Hybrid Lab Holiday Fundraiser & Giveaway Event 🎁

A science-backed experiment in open support for independent AI research

💡 Overview

This holiday season, our small hybrid AI lab is relocating, turning the move into an experiment in community support. We’re sharing selected materials from our early workspace. It's a mix of electronics, books, study items, and symbolic artifacts as tokens of appreciation to those who help sustain our open research and sandbox development.

🎯 Purpose & Funding Goal

Help us raise $7,000–$15,000 to sustain a 6–12 month hybrid lab research phase supporting housing, meals, and connectivity for coding and experimental projects.

Progress: $6,000 raised of $15,000 goal (example)
