This is your chance to explore an API that answers questions like
How much gas has our house used in the last year?
How has my electricity usage fluctuated?
How much do I spend in different periods
Can I hook this up to visualize this in my house?
What can we understand about energy usage when mashed up with real estate data or weather data?
What are the opportunities for reducing my energy cost and carbon emissions?
We’ll have a mix of judges from fellow investors—Yin Lu from MCJ and Shawn Xu from Lowercarbon to active product builders and founders — Dhanur Grandhi (ex-Span, Mosaic, Sunrun), Dasha Cherepennikova (CEO, Line.build), and Ross Gruber (CTO, Glow Energy).

The Bellingham Makerspace is proud to host the NW Free Repair group on the 2nd and 3rd Sunday of each month!
We are a group of volunteers who are dedicated to conserving the earth’s resources and decreasing the burden on our overtaxed landfill areas by repairing and rehabilitating broken household items that would otherwise be discarded. For any broken or non-functioning item that you can comfortably carry in, we will evaluate it and determine if it can be repaired. Owners must be present and participate during the repair of their items. We will teach you how! Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Join the Fun!
