Physical AI
Fellowship
Build at the intersection of AI, robotics, and hardware with a community of people turning ideas into working projects. All backgrounds welcome.
“We literally 10x’d our customers and made a functional product.
The personalized feedback and coaching was extremely helpful in navigating new process of making a product zero to one.”
“A fantastic end to a fantastic fellowship :) so many thanks to Michael Raspuzzi, Worldwide Studios, and this great cohort of builders”
“I joined the fellowship to see how AI can change education. Through this fellowship, I became a builder and worked on something unique for learners. I never expected that to happen. I was able to grow in a lot of practical skills and pilot new projects with my learners.”
“The accountability created by community pushed me farther than I would have gone if I'd done this alone.”
“The first sprint pushed me to finish my first end-to-end AI project, even though I came in with limited coding knowledge. I learned way more than I expected and felt motivated the entire time. Super grateful for the community and structure.”
“The fellowship reframed how I think about edtech, not only the technology, but connecting with learners and instructors and getting a product into the world. The best part was being around other like-minded people.”
“I felt the experience was great because I actually got to build something. I love having the demos to crystallize the work.”
MIKMAK
The team built a human-approved loop for TEM-1 screening: an agent plans and simulates each run, a robotic arm executes it, and the results feed the next experiment.

Hive Mind
A sensor-equipped culture node detects when neural cells need fresh media. Automated storage and a dual-arm workflow retrieve, refill, and return the culture.

AI Science Summit
The Agentic Scientist
Two days in San Francisco brought together 125+ founders, scientists, engineers, and researchers. 20+ talks, hands-on build sprints, and demos across AI, hardware, and science. No pitches, just building.
PhilosophyMaxxing
Learn philosophy as easy as texting. An iOS app with different tutors covering any area of philosophy.
A cohort of scientists and engineers spending 100 days building open tools for research. From lab automation to data pipelines, fellows shipped projects that accelerate discovery and shared every step with the community along the way.
