Kids use coding to bring a robot to life
Eleven kids aged seven to 10 attended “Computer Guts and Robot Brains” summer camp, led by Deanna Bledsoe. Using coding and circuitry, the students gave a voice to their very own “viral robot,” thanks to a collaboration with Wilmington artist Chez, whose colorful outdoor robots can be spotted all over Wilmington.
“Seven to 10-year-olds can do stuff like this,” Bledsoe told Trechnical.ly at the camp’s end-of-session showcase.

Realtor-created app makes homebuying easier
Goby Homes is an end-to-end encrypted, B2B platform for real estate brokers and their clients to make the home-buying process easier, per founding CEO Terrence Nickelson. The company’s tools allow people involved in purchasing property to look at home listings, share documentation, schedule calendar events and create group chats.
“We describe it as a next-gen collaboration platform that essentially improves how parties communicate and share information securely,” Nickelson told Technical.ly. “Our platform serves as an all-in-one hub, a centralized hub.”
