Alas, color has been accidentally removed from the world of HueHunt. But you can help get it back! The player learns basic concepts of light physics (reflection, refraction, total internal reflection) to direct a handy laser beam at special crystals, bouncing it off of mirrors and into water. With a little help from a Spanish-speaking frog and some problematic monkeys on skateboards, red, blue, and green can be restored to the world.

A research paper published by Jada Wiggleton-Little and Craig Callender.
ABSTRACT. Autistic adults suffer from an alarmingly high and increasing unemployment rate. Many companies use pre-employment personality screening
tests. These filters likely have disparate impacts on neurodivergent individuals,
exacerbating this social problem. This situation gives rise to a bind. On the one
hand, the tests disproportionately harm a vulnerable group in society. On the other,
employers think that personality test scores are predictors of job performance
and have a right to use personality traits in their decisions. It is difficult to say
whether these negative disparate impacts are a case of wrongful discrimination.
Nevertheless, we will show that pre-employment personality tests prey on several
features of autism in an unfair way, and for this reason, we suggest the contours
of some regulation that we deem necessary.
The Motorola Solutions Foundation, which has donated $100 million over the past 10 years, focuses its giving on three key areas:
1. First responder programming
2. Technology and engineering education
3. Programs that blend the two.
The Foundation has a long-standing commitment to supporting programs that
benefit underrepresented populations and aims to partner with organizations that align to its values of accountability, innovation, impact, diversity and inclusion.
“The Motorola Solutions Foundation is honored to partner with organizations like NDTech that are actively driving positive change within the community,” said Karem Pérez, vice president of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and executive director of the Motorola Solutions Foundation. “We are immensely proud of the work that NDTech is doing, and we look forward to seeing their continued impact.”
