##Bulldog Taxi Patrick Casey (SY '15) and Ben Burke (PC '15)

Bulldog Taxi makes it easy for Yale Students to split taxis from Bradley International Airport. By matching riders with their peers, we offer no-hassle, semi-private rides at a rate competitive with bus companies. We guarantee Yalies a $50 ride to school.

In the coming months, we also plan to expand beyond Bradley. Bulldog Taxi will enable students to coordinate rides from Laguardia, JFK, and other locations.

##Open Doors: Housing for the Homeless Caroline Posner (BK '17) and Rachel Prince (DC '17)

Our app is a continuation of the Hackathon project that aims to centralize the tracking of individuals' progress in securing permanent housing. The functionality will allow case workers to update their clients' documentation and visualize their progress and work remaining. Housing coordinators will be able to access the application and use a matching algorithm to pair clients and housing agencies.

##Baseball & Luck Zach Young (SM '17) and David Liu (BK '17)

We're trying to prove whether efficiency(conversion of bases into runs on offense/conversion of bases into no runs on defense) in baseball is solely based on luck or also based on other factors.

Delta is a user-friendly interface to make performing science experiments simple and engaging. The app guides users through all the steps of an experiment, providing interactive features at each step. Detailed trial statistics from different users are stored and can be analyzed by students or teachers. Delta: changing the game

##YFilm J. David McPeek (BK '17) and Loide Marwanga (School of Art '15)

Yale's film culture has notoriously been weak and divided, not because of a lack of talent or interest, but because there exists no infrastructure equal to that of the university's theater community. The Yale Film Association (YFA) is a new student group that needs a way to foster the campus's moviemaking talent: to build crews with complementary skills, mentor the next generations of filmmakers, and connect students interested in the moviemaking culture. The YFilm site is a medium with which to do that.

##Brace Yourself Taylor Stib (BR '15), Matt Cohen (TC '16), and Paul Styslinger (ES '17)

Brace Yourself is a prototype app for one of the fellowship teams this summer, and will include data visualization and informative displays for parents, patients, and doctors to analyze data. The app will also include a feature for parents to incentivize consistent product usage over time.

##Pear Jenny Allen (TC '16) and Sahil Gupta (SY '17)

Silence is golden, except when it's you sitting by yourself at lunch. Meet someone new over a meal with Pear, a simple, spontaneous way for Yalies to get to know each other.

##Warrior-Scholar: Project Horizon Viveca Morris (ES '15), Natalia Castillejo (JE '16), and Phil Esterman (BR '17)

Most veterans don’t graduate. As they adjust from combat to the classroom, veterans often doubt whether they belong or can succeed-- mindsets that hold them back. Project Horizon uses brief, research-driven interventions to help veterans see their challenges as chances to succeed as student-leaders. We’re partnering with the Warrior-Scholar Project and Stanford researchers to equip our homebound troops for their next mission: college.
