Ideas Made Real

System76 celebrates STEM fields

We are driven by curiosity; driven to inspire and empower the creators of tomorrow. Each day we learn how our users are making things that improve the world. As science, technology, engineering, and math advance, it becomes more important to seek out and encourage the fascination to imagine, discover, and create world solutions.

We set forth on a mission to inspire people to pursue STEM fields and convey a message that their ideas can be brought to life: Ideas made real.

We believe in the power of creating together. On July 24, System76 and friends came together to build a public art display that captured curiosity. A 3-week process that in the end asks the question: What will you make?

Is mathematics your artistic expression?

I created a simulation of a soda pouring fourbar mechanism.
