Did you see the Pixel Mosaic wall on Sunday? it was quite the spectacle as hundreds of people used their brain waves to control the 4.5m digital tug-of-war game. Players got to better understand how the health of their mind can be affected by distractions from the outside world and how to find a place for focused, calm attention even in a busy environment.

The Buddina Art show was an amazing event with great artwork from the students and professionals. This was our first time dedicating the entire mosaic to an entire school (all students from grades 2-6) and it was the most successful event yet for kids, parents and teachers. It was our first time creating individual printed certificates for each child too which was a huge hit. Check out the word cloud for the most common words used as there are some surprising entries! Thanks to everyone who participated and to the amazing teachers and principal who were so accommodating. We had a blast!
