In addition to taking classes, Jeremy leads Cornell University Sustainable Design (a 150 person interdisciplinary design-build team) and does research in the Creative Machines Lab. He's constantly developing new open sources projects, and has released nearly a hundred video tutorials that aim to teach people about electronics and engineering.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
