Meet the winners!!<\/strong><\/p>\n Carly Donahue, Akar Jani, Emma Rigby, Lindsey Mundt, <\/em>and Nick Nielsen<\/em> are working on a Hawkeye Head Holder<\/strong>, a device designed to help support a patient’s head during spinal surgery. The Next-Generation Stage Measurement at Ungauged Locations using IoT<\/b> is being developed by Muhammed Yusuf Sermet. <\/em>The team of Ben Rauenbuehler, Annice Najafi, Hunter Duncan, <\/em>and Xiaoyyue Yu <\/em>are developing the Attentive Scooper<\/strong>. The Attentive Scoooper is being developed as a tool to help children with disabilities learn to rely on their caregivers less when eating.<\/p>\n A Multi-functional Compartmentalized Product Analysis Reactor<\/strong> is being designed by Collin Sindt, Patrick Henkhaus, Mason Lyons, Dimitiri Gatzios, <\/em>and Nathan Jarvey. <\/em>Their proposal is to redesign a reactor used in research labs to address three issues: ease and speed of assembly, effectiveness of the seal, and cost effectiveness. Ethan Patterson, Nicholas Seliga, Quenton Boddie, Isabella Solaroli, <\/em>and Robert Agnew <\/em>have teamed up on the Sled-Pull Power Optimization for Athletes. <\/strong>The goal is design a device to measure the force an athlete creates during a pulling-sled exercise, the data will be analyzed to output the optimal training loads.<\/p>\n Victoria Black, Russell Martin, Bailey Rambo,<\/em> and Roger Luo <\/em>have proposed UCan<\/strong>, a design for a specific two-year-old child with Canavan’s disease. Their device will allow the child to safely explore the environment with independence with care-taker oversight. The XY-SEE Reading Table<\/strong> is being designed by Faith Meyer, Zoey Slettenhaugh, Lukas Brandner, Shawn Franken <\/em>and Rachel Cavett.<\/em> Their goal is to design a device which would fulfill a previously untapped space in central vision aids for patients with macular degeneration and other types of low vision conditions.<\/p>\n The Palate Pal<\/strong> is being designed for a specific seven-year-old with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, which would help her to achieve more independent eating. Hannah Drkulec, <\/i>Jennifer Mount, Ally Carey, Taylor Deutsch, <\/i>and Jason Zych <\/i>are working on this project! Designing a device which will allow for a universal system for sample testing in electrochemistry research is the goal of Austin McKee, Jacob Fields,<\/em> and Jonathan Koonce. <\/em>Their design is called an Adaptive Electrode Assembly.<\/strong> Andrew Solsrud, <\/i>Caleb Eichelberger, <\/i>Sawyer Goetz, Mitchell Schaffer,<\/i> and Alex Peebles<\/i> are working on the Throat and Airway Simulator.<\/strong> The goal is to improve endoscopic laryngeal learning experiences among ENT residents by designing a device that is an affordable and realistic model for residents to practice with.<\/p>\n CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS AND THEIR INNOVATIVE PROJECTS AND PROPOSALS!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR KICK-START WINNERS!!
