We took a paddle boat out at 6 AM to look for the underwater ruins of ancient Neapolis, a Roman city 15 minutes from my house.
A year ago I started Tanit XR to preserve the Tunisian heritage I grew up with. Here is what a year of volunteers and phone scans can do.
Tanit XR was a finalist for Best Societal Impact at the Auggie Awards. We got one of the loudest cheers in the room, and the next day I saw a whale!
I presented Tanit XR at the El Jem International Conference, held at the El Jem Museum, where more than half the researchers were women.
A virtual space where the artifacts we scan go on display. The streets and courtyards are modeled by our volunteers, and you can wander them from anywhere in the world!

MIT Reality Hack got cut short this year, so my team printed our own award! Hacking is better with friends.
