Hi, I'm Alex. This is Brandon and Mike, and together with our trusty prototype Marvin, we are Varden Labs.

I've been programming since I was 13 years old. I was ranked as one of the top 20 programmers in Canada in high school, and most recently, I worked as a software engineering intern at Khan Academy in Mountain View.

I'm Mike. I do mechanical stuff at Varden Labs. I've done mechanical stuff all my life. I built my own fully custom 3D printer, electric scooter, and most recently worked at a YC alum, Thalmic Labs, as their mechanical intern.

Hi, I'm Brandon, and I'm doing software and electrical. Before Barton Labs, I had worked at three startups, all with aggressive development confidence. The most recent was an artificial intelligence company where I was programming robots to interact with their environment.

The three of us were in the same mechatronics engineering class at the University of Waterloo. We've lived together for the last two years and worked on lots of projects together. This is by far our favorite, and we're really excited to see how it's going to transform the future of transportation.

Weak acid equilibria | Acids and bases | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

Before we get into the topic of weak acid equilibria, let’s look at a strong acid first. So let’s say that H A is a strong acid and reacts with water to produce the hydronium ion and A minus, the conjugate base. 2H A—technically, the reaction comes to an…

Drawing particulate models of reaction mixtures | Chemical reactions | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

In a previous video, we used a particulate model like this to understand a reaction—not just understand the reaction, but to balance the chemical reaction as well. When I hand drew these particles, the atoms in this particulate model here, I tried to draw…
