The project, with an August 15 deadline, aims to create an interactive environment—such as a public safety, smart city, or healthcare training simulation—rather than a chatbot or standard app. The developer is seeking curious team members, prioritizing enthusiasm over experience, to explore how technology can teach through experiential learning.", "body_md": "A few months ago, if someone had asked me what I'd be doing this summer, I would've probably said DSA.\n\n104 LeetCode problems later, I somehow ended up obsessed with AI, simulations, product design, human behavior, and all the strange ways technology can teach people things.\n\nRecently I came across the IEEE Metaverse Grand Challenge for Simulation-Based Learning.\n\nThe premise is simple:\n\nBuild an immersive simulation that teaches something.\n\nNot another chatbot.\n\nNot another CRUD app.\n\nNot another dashboard pretending to be a startup.\n\nA simulation.\n\nSomething people can step into, interact with, and learn from.\n\nI don't know exactly what we're building yet.\n\nMaybe a public safety simulation.\n\nMaybe a smart city that reacts to your decisions.\n\nMaybe a healthcare training environment.\n\nMaybe something completely different.\n\nWhat I do know is that I don't want to do it alone.\n\nSo I'm looking for 4 people who want to spend the next few months building something ambitious.\n\nCurrent stack on my side:\n\nPeople I'd love to meet:\n\nExperience matters less than curiosity.\n\nThe deadline is August 15.\n\nIf we end up building something cool, great.\n\nIf we end up learning a ridiculous amount and making new friends, that's probably a win too.\n\nIf this sounds interesting, reach out.\n\nLet's build something weird.\n\n[somaykaush@gmail.com](mailto:somaykaush@gmail.com) (mail me if interested or just comment here)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-4-people-to-build-something-weird-with-me", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/casperday11/looking-for-4-people-to-build-something-weird-with-me-2bgl", "published_at": "2026-05-25 14:52:53+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-25 15:05:57.641861+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-startups", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-research"], "entities": ["IEEE", "Somay Kaush", "Metaverse Grand Challenge"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-4-people-to-build-something-weird-with-me", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-4-people-to-build-something-weird-with-me.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-4-people-to-build-something-weird-with-me.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-4-people-to-build-something-weird-with-me.jsonld"}}
