Tech Hustle is a project to build upon indications from earlier project, Glitch. Glitch found that many low-income African American male high school students were more willing and able to engage in computer education when it was situated in an authentic work environments.

Social TV is a mobile application that works in conjunction with watching TV. It is targeted to users who may be living in a new location and watch TV alone, or to users who want to increase the social aspect of watching TV. Through integration with Facebook, the mobile app presents a TV Feed where users can share information, such as screenshots, quotes and recommendations with other individuals in their network. The app has a TV chat feature, where users can engage in both synchronous and asynchronous chatting about what is occurring in the show of their choosing.
The Shape of Story is an interactive story circle experience in which participants collectively create a story line-by-line. Artificial intelligence in narrative understanding is used in conjunction with a symbolic visual language in order to visualize this story in real-time. The result is a communally created narrative art piece.
