Scribblr

Won the "2nd Place — Interactive Signage" MakeMIT x MakeHarvard 2026 for Scribblr, a smart pen system that listens to live lectures, transcribes them with an ElevenLabs API, obtains the G-code through a Gemini API, along with a summary of the transcribed notes. Finally, it writes down the summarized notes on a chalkboard/whiteboard through an XZ gantry, also a repurposed 3D printer.
