A huge congratulations to our 8th-grade team of girls who have won at the state level in the prestigious eCYBERMISSION, a national STEM competition! Their project, ThermoTend, tackled an important community issue: the safety of animals and children left alone in vehicles. With temperatures in cars rising quickly, this team created a solution to help prevent unnecessary suffering.
ThermoTend is a device that measures the temperature inside a car, sending alerts to the driver if the temperature becomes dangerous. The name combines "Thermo," for thermometer, and "Tend," meaning to attend to or check on the vehicle's occupants. Their innovative design not only aims to protect pets but also children left in cars.
Each team member received a scholarship from the Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) for their hard work and dedication to STEM. We are so proud of their creativity, teamwork, and commitment to making a difference!
