Students in the Bay Area are engaged in summer initiatives to create innovative hardware, software, and engineering projects. A standout example is a phone-controlled exoskeleton hand developed by Ygnacio Valley High students, which won acclaim at MIT's EurekaFest and is patent pending. Events like Hack Club's Undercity gathered teen coders for hardware creation, focusing on increasing female participation in tech. Other projects include an autonomous tool for aviation safety created by an 18-year-old and a solar-powered car project by Garage 803 Racing in Mountain View, enhancing practical STEM skills.
In Concord, students at Ygnacio Valley High developed a phone-controlled exoskeleton hand to assist people with limited mobility, earning top honors at MIT's EurekaFest and filing for a patent.
Sixteen-year-old Meghana Madiraju led tutorials at Hack Club's Undercity event, emphasizing her commitment to improving gender equity in tech and addressing the gender gap in STEM.
Eighteen-year-old Mizan Rupan-Tompkins created an autonomous tool called Stratus designed to prevent mid-air collisions at non-towered airports, utilizing machine learning for safety enhancements.
Students of Garage 803 Racing are handcrafting a solar-powered car, aiming to participate in the Solar Car Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway, preparing to compete with top student teams.
