We’re deeply appreciative of GigEfx Labs for their enthusiastic and forward-thinking participation in our Riipen pilot. The project exploring quantum-nano technologies for additive manufacturing provided our students with an inspiring opportunity to consider real-world impact beyond their immediate environment. Despite the time zone difference, communication and collaboration worked smoothly; likely aided by the strong presence of graduate students, including those with personal ties to the larger region. Your team’s openness to creative thinking and global perspectives made this a uniquely meaningful experience. Thank you again for supporting our students and contributing to the success of our early; stage experiential learning effort.
