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.

Our project addresses the need for educating high school students on COVID-19 in order to prepare them for a possible disease outbreak in the future. The poster contains information on our four week program that consists of four videos and a preliminary and final quiz to provide feedback on the quality of our content. Full
Huntington’s Disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease that often is fatal within 10 years after symptoms emerge. There is no known cure as of now, but the cause has been determined. A mutant HTT gene results in a “CAG repeat” that leads to the disease. While not much is known about the gene, there
Gerrymandering is the intentional manipulation of vote district boundaries to favor one political group/party over another. We see this in the United States from both government parties, who look to either maintain their control through controlling who votes for them or by trying to minimize the value of their opponents’ votes and power. Numerous articles
Our goal is to inform people of all ages about GMOs to reduce the negative stigma and give consumers a better understanding of their effects. This will be done through a series of surveys to have an insight into what social media is more effective in educating people on GMOs. This was a way for
Our challenge is the major decline in mental health due to the COVID 19 pandemic. During the pandemic, many people were forced to stay in their homes, and were therefore socially isolated, leading to a decline in mental health. We have created an app to help support the mental health of Chapman students. First, we
Our grand challenge is the lack of computer hardware instruction in schools due to the cost of computer parts. Computer hardware and building computers is a useful skill in today’s modern world of technology. As previous studies have shown, our hypothesis is that virtual reality betters students’ understanding and increases socialization and motivation. This solution
The goal of our project was to educate people about the issues that affect the ocean, so we created a website full of useful information and research papers about ocean health. Full Poster: Ocean Health Education Project
