Between the 18th and 20th of July 2025, Truro & Falmouth was flooded with small posters, advertising the Broach.

 

The idea was to get plenty of people,

all using Broach, all close to one another.  

​

Break out of online life!

These three days were an opportunity to

break out of our increasingly online lives.

​​

How many new people could we meet?

What amazing things could we...

​​​

                discuss   organise

            share   find   build   do

                make   solve   create

​​​

     ...together?

​

The results?

135 downloads. Approximately 90 active users.

12 instances of real-world broaching.

At least 2 lasting, meaningful

new friendships.

 

The collected data also highlighted key improvements

for Broach's user-experience design, as well as

crucial information on which networking methods work

best for Broach in practice.   

​

All thanks to...

+150 local businesses who generously helped with the poster campaign.

Oxford University Cornwall Alumni Network provided funding.

 

A massive thank you to everyone who made this project possible.
