01 — The Brief

Real problems in from the street. Real prototypes out the door.

Code Kootu is a fifteen-member engineering collective. We crowdsource the problems people actually live with — then design, build, and ship hardware, software, or both. Every brief is read. The good ones get built.

Anyone can submit: a student, a nurse, a grounds-keeper, a shop-owner. If it's real, the committee scores it. A wing picks it up. What comes out the other end is yours to keep, fork, and improve.

Three wings. One committee. Fifteen hands.

Each wing owns a slice. Software builds the spine. Hardware builds the body. Operations builds the story. Click a wing to see the roster.

Chapter 04 — The Call

Bring it.

If you've been sitting with a problem that shouldn't still exist, submit it. We read every brief. The good ones build. Whatever comes out is yours — open, documented, forkable.
