GoPixel

GoPixel is a community platform built by Stanford Online High School (OHS) families on nights and weekends to improve the experience for OHS students. It functions as a space where parents and students connect around shared interests like coding, reading, music, and sports. The project was created by a group of technical parents, non-technical parents learning to become builders, and OHS students.

The platform is not affiliated with or endorsed by Stanford University or Stanford OHS, but it is specifically designed for the OHS community. It serves as a side project where families can find others who share their specific interests in areas like 3D printing, aerospace, or K-Pop. Users can join the community by logging in or creating an account on the website.

The site lists 44 shared interests ranging from Harry Potter and Percy Jackson to Calvin & Hobbs and mountain biking. These categories allow users to filter connections based on specific hobbies rather than general demographics. The platform supports both parents and students in finding like-minded individuals for activities.

The community currently includes 47 members, consisting of 31 parents and 16 students. This mix of technical and non-technical parents, along with student builders, creates a diverse environment for collaboration. The platform encourages participation from both parents learning to code and students interested in building.

The website explicitly states that it is a side project and not an official part of Stanford OHS. This distinction allows the community to operate with flexibility while still benefiting from the shared culture of the school. The informal nature of the project fosters a more relaxed environment for interaction.

The platform supports various cultural and technical themes, including documentaries on how machines work and musicals like Hamilton. It also covers lifestyle topics such as healthy living and powerlifting, showing a broad range of interests. These diverse categories help users find niche communities within the larger platform.

The official website of GoPixel is gopixel.org.
