##NoXploder III Casey Watts YC '12, Charlie Proctor YC '12, Jason Kim YC '12, Marcus Russi YC '12

(This is just an example, unfortunately this app doesn't exist)

NoXploder app is to make the world not explode. We use Ruby on Rails to store information on potential explosion points, and we use the Google Earth Patcher API to prevent destruction.

##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.

##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.

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

We aim to create a service for Yale Students to arrange to split taxis from Bradley International Airport. Bulldog Taxi will give these travelers a quick and easy alternative to CT Limo.

Eventually, Bulldog Taxi might extend beyond Bradley, enabling students to coordinate rides from Laguardia, JFK, and other locations. It may even expand beyond Yale.

##Yale Film Association J. David McPeek BK'17, Loide Marwanga YGDMFA'15

The YFA is a student film association that needs a way to build film crews with complementary skills, mentor the next generation of filmmakers, and connect students interested in making films. Our app can help!

##BookBound E-Lynn Yap TD '14, Joe Calamia FES '15, Sonja Peterson DC '14, Jay Hou TC '17, Nikki Feldman DC '15

BookBound encourages social reading. Sign up with a partner. Pick a book. You and your co-reader can make comments as you read. Unlock your friend's comments by reaching the same point in the book yourself. Encourage your friend to read further and help yourself to retain what you've read by leaving insightful comments each time your close your book. BookBound: an asynchronous book club for two.

##Slackline Jenny Allen TC '16, Sahil gupta SY '17

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

##Warrior-Scholars Project Viveca Morris ES '15, Natalia Castillejo JE '16, Phil Esterman BR '17

Most veterans don't graduate. As they adjust from combat to the classroom, veterans often face doubts about whether they belong or have what it takes to succeed. What they need is a mind-set intervention-- a precise, theory-driven, social-psychological intervention that changes how veterans view themselves and unlocks their academic potential. Building off a growing body of research, we want to show veterans returning to college that they belongs and will succeed as warrior-scholars.

##Y.Create Dana Chaykovsky SM '17, Amy Rockwood BK '16, Aily Zhang SM '15, Aileen Huang BK '17

Y.Create is a social networking space that fosters interdisciplinary innovation and collaboration. Are you an engineer in need of a graphic designer to make a logo for your new start-up? Do you need a team of programmers to make a website for your awesome kick-starter? Y.Create will link you to the people you need!

Project-centric rather than people-centric, Y.Create strives to connect individuals of all technical skills and interests.

Delta will create an interactive, user-friendly interface for performing lab experiments. It will minimize error in lab procedures by offering easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedure that allows users to modify experiment parameters, perform calculations, and keep track of individual experiment runs.
