it's happening.

a little over a week till we start to get back to the work at hand. Rested, refreshed, and ready to hit it with a growing team.

5 interns MWF each week will be working on HAX in spring semester. '25 was a big year for formalization, expansion, and collaborations that I've only really started to hint at..

Our 1st grant landed HAX dev for spring to work on HAX for portfolio management in collaboration with College of Ed at PSU.

HAX made the Apereo newsletter via this interview about my pedagogical pipeline approach to community growth and development -- https://www.apereo.org/news/2025/next-level-community-building-hax

Course -> Club -> Lab

This approach educates, grows HAX, and expands student opportunities for internships and professional development while improving our course infrastructure.

Today, 6 years ago. Own $ to fund, idea was spreading, an event was organized around the idea of reusable blocks using web standards.
