About this episode
As you have probably noticed, we’ve been on a bit of a break but we’re coming back with exclusive interviews from amazing events and locations. This summer, we’ve been on the road to Chicago to visit mHub to talk with some of the founders, engineers, and builders of incredible hardware and start-ups. You’ll get to see all that and more, but first, we have an unreleased episode with a previous guest. Vijay Varada is 2023’s Hackaday Prize Grand Prize Winner and co-founder of Fraktal Works an open-source 3D printing company. We’ll be diving a little deeper into the benefits of open-source innovation, Vijay’s printable braille interface for the visually impaired, and why passion projects can change your entire mission.Hackaday
