[GREG BRILL] Thread Learning is a data collection analysis and sharing 
platform for autism teachers. 

[SAM RAUDABAUGH] Autism is one of the most pressing health issues of 
our time. 

[BRILL] Autism teachers track everything that a student does in the 
classroom all by hand. This is what it looks like. I began working on 
it a couple months before coming to Cornell Tech, but I didn't have 
the tools that I needed to do the startup until I met Sam. 

[RAUDABAUGH] When I saw the work that Greg had done in autism 
education, I thought, 'we need to build this.' 

[BRILL] So we started off thinking along the lines of a tool that we 
were going to put in the hands of teachers and with the help of the 
staff here, it's evolved into a much more encompassing platform. 

[RAUDABAUGH] For the first time, we're putting terabytes of invaluable 
data into the hands of researchers 

[APPLAUSE] 

[BRILL] Cornell Tech has an unbelievable team of mentors. 

[RAUDABAUGH] They're not just teaching you a concept without 
explaining how you can use this to solve a real problem.
