About the time estimates on each lab: 7-minute base unit. Numbers reflect depth of commitment — how heavy the material is + the builder's best guess at how long you'll want to sit with it. If a number feels off to you, that's useful signal. Email via the About page and the builder will recalibrate.

The Jenkins Method
Natural Human Language Programming · how a hydraulic engineer with no AI training built a baseball validation system in 600 hours · the parent doctrine V31 was born under
28 min also: College IXalso: College X
who'd appreciate this
engineers, methodology nerds, anyone watching V31 and asking how the hell that got built without a CS degree
OPA 4.18.6
El Manningway Field
football air-pressure · launch at your PSI · the sealed gas, the deflection curve, what altitude does to a deep pass
21 min also: College IX
who'd appreciate this
QBs, equipment managers, anyone who wanted the actual physics, kids with footballs and helium balloons
OPA 4.18.7
Bend Like a Banana
soccer free-kick · the strike map · take the spin off and the drag crisis swerves the ball on its own
21 min also: College IX
who'd appreciate this
soccer coaches, kids who want to know why a free kick bends, anyone curious about the seams
OPA 4.18.8
The Sandcastle — Volleyball
volleyball aerodynamics · the float serve's chaos · same drag crisis as baseball and soccer, one stubborn piece of physics
21 min also: College IX
who'd appreciate this
volleyball coaches, players, anyone who knows the float serve has aerodynamic chaos in it
OPA 4.18.x
