AGCORDER The AgCorder is a multi-functional sensor package that allows commercial plant growers to gather and interpret a wide range of real-time, in-vivo data directly related to plant growth and health. As a grower’s portable assistant, the system utilizes cutting-edge optical technology and analysis techniques to see beyond what is apparent to the naked eye.

B RESPIRATOR The “B respirator” was created for men with beards or other facial hair. With normal respirators, men with facial hair (who has not shaved recently) risks exposure through a leaky seal on their skin. It utilizes a mouth piece and a nose plug to protect you from a combination of dust and fume hazards. The seal is created using the mouth so facial hair does not interfere with a conventional sealing method. This respirator is also a light weight, compact alternative for both men and women that want respiratory protection that does not interfere with other forms of PPE (personal protective equipment) including face shields, safety glasses, hearing protection, etc.

DEFEAT A GOD The basic idea is to create a multiplayer war game where each team has to defeat a god. First, players will be able to control the head of a clan, who has unique abilities, but also can control armies who have a variance of abilities based on specific elements (like magic, ammunition and so on). Secondly, the god has the ability to learn from battle sessions (using AI), so defeating a god in a battle with a strategy will require the player to reconsider other strategies. Thirdly, the God will have creative abilities. He has the ability to evolve over multiple battles so the player gets a new experience after multiple sessions. The ultimate goal is to make this multiplayer, so each player has a stat of how much the god(enemy) has evolved and can compare theirs to other players.

LOCAL SPORTS We will be making a web application that allows users to find, create, schedule, and participate in amateur sports events near them. 3 out of every 4 school-age children play in an organized sport, but by the time they become adults, only 25% of them will still play. This is unfortunate because the majority of adults that play sports report reduced stress and improved mental and physical health. Adults face many challenges in finding enough people, or a location to play their favorite sport as they get older. We hope to solve these challenges by building a community of players and sports facilities, and providing them with the tools needed to schedule and participate in organized competitive sports of all types.

SLEEP PILLOW HELPER Deaf people have hard time identifying sounds during sleep which it could be in dangerous situation. Smart Pillow Helper is a new take on the deaf alarm clock with integrated sensors, lights and vibrators. The pillow is designed to do more than wake you from your sleep – it is designed to monitor and alert the user of changing conditions such as a tornado. My vision of my dream is to make cities accessible and inclusive for deaf people and people with disabilities.
