Xanthe Matychak, lecturer in Environmental Studies & Sciences and founder of Make Better Stuff, is LaunchNY's Entrepreneur of the Week. Featured in the LaunchNY story is her Kairos Light--a product-system that Xanthe conceived at Ithaca Generator and prototyped in the Southern Tier Hardware Accelerator at REV over the summer.
Xanthe teaches Make Better Stuff Lab and Make Better Stuff Studio in ENVS. In these courses students use sustainable design principles to design and manufacture simple products using tools like 3D printers and open source electronics.
