VIDEO: Designing to delight, the Moonshot Club delivers
Coming in hot! Keep your eyes out for the motorized couch buzzing around campus and spreading joy.
So many impactful projects at Stanford Engineering start with a simple question: What if…?
Jason Lin, ’25, and his friends in the Stanford Moonshot Club recently asked, “What if we build a small wooden frame and then put a couch on it with two electric skateboards underneath?” The motorized couch that was born out of this question is a classic example of the creative and collaborative spirit that’s unique to Stanford. Through the process of making, Lin and his fellow Moonshot Club members have empowered students from a variety of academic backgrounds to come together, tinker, and make a positive impact on the community.
