The term Fake News encompasses a broad range of false information present in politics, healthcare, education, or any topic that is discussed in an increasingly polarized digital space. It’s clear that it is a complex problem, with no single right answer or rule to follow, which is why our team decided the most effective solution
A quantitative and qualitative review of survey results that explores dementia caregivers’ opinions on tracking devices for loved ones who wander. Full Poster: In-depth Analysis of Dementia Caregiver Perspective on Tracking Technology
The growing number of plastic bags being introduced to ocean systems is causing marine animals to accidentally consume harmful plastics, eventually leading to gut impaction and death. Regular plastic bags do not degrade and rely on individuals to recycle them to prevent permanent pollution. Current biodegradable plastic bags require industrial composting and are not digestible
We’ve created a user-led website that instills a user source rating system. On the website, users are allowed to insert a link of their choice and can rate it using our rating system. They can see the average score other users have given it as well. Full Poster: Combating Untrustworthy Articles
While sleep is crucial to most life on Earth, studies have shown that college students on a great scale are one of the most affected in regard to sleep. With college students, sleep is very important for them to stay focused and awake during their classes throughout the day. But, it can be hard due
We’ve worked on a small scaled model car to recognize stop lights and react accordingly. Our progress so far includes a physical model of the car as well as plans to build and implement the AI itself. Full Poster: Stop Light AI
Our challenge is to create an accurate model exploring the correlation between key variables that impact the stock market during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing models don’t completely account for the relationship between these key variables. Our approach is to use a model from the literature as a blueprint and to try to develop a more
Voting in the US has been a contentious problem for decades. In the recent elections, voters have raised concerns about the fairness in our current voting system. Our group wanted to approach this by making it easier for minority groups, people with accessibility constraints, and those in gentrified areas to vote to achieve an equal
Climate change and the overconsumption of plastics are threats to the environment and future generations. Every year, roughly 250,000 tons of wet waste coffee grounds are thrown into landfills, where they decompose and release harmful methane into the atmosphere–further amplifying the effects of climate change. With the 3D printing industry growing so rapidly, our solution
Our grand challenge is to have a cost-efficient and versatile haptic feedback product that can be used for a variety of applied purposes. To solve this, we applied cost-efficient and versatile components to a glove with vibrational feedback by utilization of Arduino and vibrational motors.
