Stellar descriptions
‘Alt text’ is a description of an image used online when it can’t be viewed for some reason. They are usually simple and straight forward. But how do you describe a picture of a galaxy to someone who can’t see it? NASA are making space accessible to all.

Bricking it
Sometimes we all need some inspiration. Even more so when there’s a child standing over a pile of Lego bricks and demanding you ‘build something cool!’. That’s where the Brickit app comes in. Scan your brick selection and it’ll use AI to give you a list of user-collated ideas and instructions. Brilliant!
