Early Adapters:
“Ponder gave me the tools to turn my ideas into reality. I have always been passionate about software engineering, but I had never gotten a chance to work on a project with my knowledge. I used the platform to create a browser extension that automatically summarizes long passages. Ponder is so different. It is not a tool either — it’s a launchpad for real skills and fun projects that let me stand out in front of college and internship opportunities.”
- Sophomore in Columbia University: Alex W.
