30 middle school girls changing the world with tech

by:Rocket PCB     2019-11-22
What happens when you provide technical resources to middle school girls, guide the network and show the platform they work on?
They have created inventions, devices, robots, wearable devices and applications that can change the world.
Every year, project tcsgirls, a national non-profit organization dedicated to narrowing the gender gap in technology by encouraging secondary school girls to pursue computer science and technology, holds a national computer science competition for secondary school girls.
The challenge is simple.
Building something using computer science and technology to help solve pressing social problems under one of three themes --
Global Health, a safer world, intelligent technology.
The 2016 competition attracted more than 600 contestants from 35 states, and the top 30 finalists were invited to the DC project Girl National Party
Learning, collaboration, networking and day activities that support each other.
A group of female technical experts, workshops centered on the concept of \"technology for the benefit of humanity\", Fedora welding, and ballroom events headed by subject notes are all part of the packaging.
Then the final speech.
Ask each team to show 2-
The five-minute speech on the stage of their project to 200Audience.
After the finalists showed their prototypes, shows and apps, the audience\'s jaw dropped, their eyes widened, and the collective whispering became even bigger.
The technical complexity that these girls were able to convey and understand shocked family members, the technical professionals were surprised, the keynote speaker applauded as loudly as possible, and the teachers smiled.
That\'s it-
Girls are born with curiosity, innovation and creativity.
Studies have shown that girls are attracted to careers or programs through which they can make a difference, by providing them with tools and platforms to make a difference in technology, we can enlarge their story and they are eager to make the word better.
See how 30 of these young changemakers use technology to change the world and make their voices heard on issues that matter to them --
At the same time break all the stereotypes of girls in science and technology.
Registration of 2017 projects is now open and closed on February 15-
Encourage young changers in life to sign up today!
The Eternal, easy-to-use development of Emma-to-
Use an app from people with Alzheimer\'s to remember events, keep in touch and interact with friends and family, and identify people by using automatic face recognition technology from a mobile phone camera.
After Emma\'s grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer\'s, Emma realized that she could use technology to help her grandmother stay in touch with relatives and bridge the disconnect that often alienates people with Alzheimer\'s.
Emma\'s app includes an update stream from family and friends, a \"Today\" event calendar that reminds patients of the day\'s event, a photo catalogue of the patient\'s family and friends, marked with names and relationships, to help patients connect faces to names, as well as the ability to automatically identify loved ones using a camera.

It is possible to connect to a printing device that captures retina images on a smartphone, as well as programs that process retina images and automatically identify micro-aneurysm in order to detect the diabetic retina.
Lindsey has developed an engaging computer game to help children with autism record the emotions of others. S. T. E. E.
R represents something that enhances emotional recognition. It is a game where users participate in 11 different emotions --
Happiness, sadness, frustration, stupidity, boredom, frustration, confusion, disgust, embarrassment, anger and fear.
As the game goes on, she hopes the kids will get to know the emotions better and turn them into the real world.
Rose developed an emergency platelet applicator (ETA)
As a solution to the bleeding problem.
ETA consists of two main parts: a piston syringe filled with artificially manufactured platelets and proteins, and a computer algorithm used to determine the number of platelets required.
She therefore hopes that her invention will help prevent the rapid loss of blood.
Baheen has built a comprehensive air quality sensor that allows users to measure air quality and track the source and direction of air pollution.
Her sensors are made up of multiple components that together measure the levels of dust, gas, temperature, humidity and wind connected to the board and use particle cloud storage to integrate readings.
Because the price of Baheen\'s integrated sensor is much cheaper and more portable compared to a set of industrial sensors, she hopes it can be used in developing countries with severe air pollution.
Sruthi and Kristen have created a \"belt\" for the Blind, an innovative belt that helps the blind or visually impaired.
When blind or visually impaired people wear this smart belt, it will remind them if they are about to hit something.
It can be used as a guide instead of a guide dog or a white cane.
Sruthi and Kristen tested their products with the blind at Lowell Blind Association (LAB)
The person in charge of the organization noted that the product had been a great success.
Shreeya has developed an application and website to increase the number of first responders of natural disaster sites faster and more effectively than the corresponding manual process.

She hopes that her project will shorten the emergency response time and bring a safer environment to the world.
Isabela has developed a cost-effective, eco-friendly device using a set of piezoelectric speakers and plexi-glass.
She hopes that the device will provide better solutions and alternatives than the current use of toxic and expensive pollution pain in the environment to prevent the growth of the rattan pot, which will damage the engine of the ship.
Simrithaa has developed a drowning alarm system, a device that alerts and sends text messages to a user\'s mobile phone when diving into the water for more than 10 seconds.
She believes in her invention, constructed by Arduino Uno micro-controller board, Geeetech GPRS shield and breadboard, which can prevent drowning deaths, detect water leakage and can be used to check water pollution.
Hari developed a drug management system designed to address the problems of patients with loss of vision who could not read the drug container labels and package inserts.
Her system includes cheap passive RFID tags that can be connected to any medicine bottle, as well as the RFID reading device she developed, the device can read out the name, expiration date, safety information of the drug through the iPhone app.
She hopes that her program will not only help people with impaired vision, but also help people with Alzheimer\'s and chronic diseases live a safer and healthier life.
Anoushka developed the stroke map application (HDA)
This is a tool that allows partially paralyzed stroke patients to draw on touch screen devices to restore the activity and independence of their hands.
She hopes that her app will complement their workout routine with an incentive and engagement campaign to help stroke patients recover better.
Anne, Alekhya and heetvi developed Baymax, a diagnostic application created using the flow chart in the American Medical Association\'s guidelines for family medicine, written in C, give users who do not have immediate access to a medical facility or a professional physician a better tool to match their symptoms with an accurate diagnosis.
Explosive induction coatings designed by Pajaka and Aiko (ESP)
Nano-coating composed of chemical nano-sensor arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)
