Chris Walker dropped out of Dartmouth and became a Thiel Fellow in 2013. He had an idea for a math video game that was inspired by the TI 84 graphing calculator. He tried creating an educational video game studio but it didn't work out. He joined Hack Club, a student-led educational intiative that started teaching coding but has branched out. Hack Club's founder, Zach Latta, was also a Thiel Fellow. Chris started Castle Bravo as a personal project -- with the idea of turning a bouncy castle into a boat -- a motorized floating bouncy castle. He's now working with young people to create a solar-powered version. Chris will bring the current version to Maker Faire Bay Area 00:00 Hack Club's Chris Walker and Castle Bravo 01:34 Introduction 02:48 My TI 84 graphing calculator and SineRider 04:10 2013 Thiel Fellowship 05:25 Hack Club 08:05 Castle Bravo 13:14 Looking back, would you do it again?
