Current Focus
Modular Chromosome Modeling System
Overview
A minimalist, modular chromosome modeling system created for classroom biology instruction. While it originated as a school project, it is intentionally structured to be open and reusable by students, educators, and makers.
The design prioritizes conceptual clarity over visual complexity. Every component serves a specific instructional purpose, allowing learners to focus on genetics rather than decorative detail.
Learning Objectives
These models are designed to support instruction and visualization of:
- Monohybrid crosses
- Dihybrid crosses
- Allele combinations
- Independent assortment
- Genetic recombination (crossing over)
Unlike static diagrams, the interchangeable components allow students to physically manipulate genetic material, reinforcing abstract concepts through motion and structure.
System Design
Core Principles
- Modularity — all parts are independent and swappable
- Minimalism — simple geometry for fast printing and clear meaning
- Interactivity — magnets enable movement, recombination, and display
Key Features
- Separate chromosome bodies and ends
- Interchangeable ends for modeling recombination
- Magnetic attachment for end-to-body connections, end-to-end swapping, and whiteboard mounting
- Fabrication-friendly geometry (no supports required depending on slicer settings)
- Three sizes to represent scale or distinguish homologous pairs
- Red and Blue color coding to represent chromosomes from different parents
Technical Specifications
| Fabrication Method | FDM 3D Printing |
| Magnet Type | Neodymium (10mm × 2mm) |
| Components Per Set | Chromosome bodies + 6 interchangeable ends |
| Available Sizes | Three (Small, Medium, Large) |
| Color Options | Red and Blue |
| Support Requirements | None (depending on slicer settings) |
Example Classroom Workflow
- Assign red chromosomes to one parent and blue chromosomes to the other
- Mount chromosome bodies to a whiteboard using magnets
- Attach labeled ends representing alleles (A, a, B, b, etc.)
- Perform monohybrid or dihybrid crosses by rearranging ends
- Swap ends between chromosomes to demonstrate recombination
This workflow encourages participation, discussion, and real-time correction.
Intended Audience
- High school biology courses
- Introductory genetics classes
- STEM education programs
- Educators seeking physical teaching aids
- Students building instructional models
Mesh Network Radio Device
Overview
A decentralized mesh network communication device designed for off-grid scenarios, emergency situations, and areas with limited infrastructure. Each device acts as both a node and a router, creating resilient peer-to-peer networks.
Core Capabilities
- Automatic mesh network formation and self-healing
- End-to-end encrypted messaging
- GPS location sharing and waypoint marking
- Up to 10km range in optimal conditions
- Multi-hop message routing through other nodes
- Battery life of 48+ hours with typical use
- Weatherproof enclosure for outdoor use
Technical Specifications
| Radio Technology | LoRa (Long Range) |
| Frequency | 915MHz (US) / 868MHz (EU) |
| Range | Up to 10km line-of-sight |
| Network Topology | Self-organizing mesh |
| Encryption | AES-256 |
| Battery | 18650 Li-ion (3000mAh) |
| Interface | OLED display + 4-button control |
Applications
