Campus Radar.
One real student project, featured every week — what they built, why, and what makes it worth your attention. No filler, no “ten AI tools students should try” listicles.

This Student Built a One-Click Pi-hole Remote for Your Browser
Pi-hole In One, built by the student developer Creeperkatze, is a free browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge that lets you pause Pi-hole, allowlist or block the site you are on, and check your stats in one click, without opening the Pi-hole admin panel.

This Student Built a Farm Advisor That Speaks Kannada and Telugu
Ritesh Bonthalakoti built Agro Mirai, a solo capstone project: an app that turns a farmer's live weather, soil and satellite data into crop, irrigation and disease-risk advice, explains its reasoning, and speaks it back in English, Kannada, Telugu or Hindi.

This Jena Student Built a Tool That Turns Drawings Into SPARQL
Daniel Motz built Query by Graph as a bachelor thesis at Friedrich Schiller University Jena: a browser tool that lets historians and other non-programmers query Wikibase databases like FactGrid and Wikidata by drawing a graph, and that converts SPARQL back into a drawing too.

This Student Built a Tutor That Maps Your Course as a 3D Graph
blossom-rt, a data science undergraduate at China University of Petroleum-Beijing at Karamay, built Zhijing, a knowledge-graph tutoring system that shows a course as a 3D graph, orders your learning path by prerequisite with a topological sort, and uses AI to diagnose weak spots after each test.
Campus Radar
This Student Built an Alarm That Guards a Codeforces Streak
Ganesh Karthik, a competitive programmer at IIIT Jabalpur, built CP Reminder 2.0, an Android app that rings a loud alarm 30 minutes before every Codeforces contest and, at 10:30 PM, checks whether you have submitted anything that day and sounds the alarm if you haven't.
Campus Radar
This Student Built a Media Server That Never Touches Your Data Plan
Benson Musonda, a student at Mulungushi University in Zambia, built AirNode, a free Windows app that turns a PC into a PIN-protected file explorer and media server your phone can reach over a local hotspot, with no internet connection and no cellular data used.
Campus Radar
This Student Built Picture Frames for a Long-Distance Couple
Maggi Snorrason, an MSc student in Computer and Embedded Systems Engineering at TU Delft, built two Wi-Fi picture frames around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, one for each partner in a long-distance relationship, so each can pick the photos and send messages that appear on the other's frame.
Campus Radar
This Uruguayan Student Built an App to Find Your Study Group
Guillermo Coelho, a computer engineering student at FING, Universidad de la Republica in Uruguay, built StudyGuild, a web app where students post study sessions for a specific subject so classmates preparing for the same exam can find them, join and coordinate in a chat.
Campus Radar
This Student Built a Live Wallpaper Engine That Barely Touches Your RAM
Emmanuel Alabi wanted a live video wallpaper for Windows that wouldn't eat resources on his 8GB laptop. So he built LiveWall, a Tauri app that hides behind your desktop icons using an undocumented Windows trick, using under 10MB installed and about 85MB of RAM while playing a video.
Campus Radar
This Student Built a Powerbank With Batteries You Can Actually Replace
Panos Koutsoumanis had to throw away a dead powerbank once because its cells were spot-welded to the board. So he designed Juicebox, a 3D-printed, 6700mAh powerbank with spring-contact battery holders, so a dead cell means a swap instead of e-waste.
Campus Radar
This Student Built the Codebase Aalborg Uses to Teach Magnetic Levitation Robotics
Nikolaj Bjornager built the C# control framework that Aalborg University's Smart Production Laboratory now uses to teach new students its ACOPOS 6D magnetic levitation table. He's upfront that the project is archived and unfinished: the XML-based state machine layer he planned never got built.
Campus Radar
This Kathmandu University Team Built a Voice-Based Depression Risk Screener Called Lucid
Four Kathmandu University students, Dalton Khatri, Sahaj Wagle, Saksham Dallakoti, and Abhyudaya Pokhrel, built Lucid, a private tool that listens to both what you say and how you say it to flag stress, emotional triggers, and depression risk, without the stigma of a questionnaire. It runs a late-fusion model on a very small clinical dataset, which was the actual hard part.
Campus Radar
This ESPRIT Student Team Built a 2D Game Where Every Hazard Doubles as a Quiz
Abdelhamid Ellab and his team at ESPRIT built The Carthagenian Eagles, a 2D adventure game in raw C and SDL with no game engine underneath. Every hazard collision triggers a trivia quiz or a spot-the-difference puzzle, correct answers let you keep going, wrong ones cost a heart.
Campus Radar
This Polish Student Team Built a Pension Calculator That Actually Tells You What to Change
Konrad Guzek and his team at KN Solvro built Emerytownik in under 24 hours at HackYeah 2025: a pension calculator trained on Poland's own actuarial data that tells you exactly what to change to hit your retirement target, not just a single number to worry about.
Campus Radar
LPU Student Built an AI Net So Internship Postings Stop Vanishing
Ankan Ghosh kept losing internships to WhatsApp groups and stale portals, so he built VidyaVerse, a ranking model trained on 130 versions and 15,700+ real student interactions that lifts apply rates 153%. Our first Campus Radar spotlight.
