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

We have created an app to help support the mental health of Chapman students. First, we
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
As climate change warms the California region during the summer as a result of the greenhouse gas effect, forest fires have become more frequent with each passing year. If atmospheric carbon dioxide could be reduced, so could the rate at which global warming occurs. Fertilizers rich in nitrogen and phosphorous could be used to keep
Financial Literacy for people ages 18-24 is the lowest across the entire nation. We wanted to tackle this issue by creating a quiz to help students assess their financial literacy and present resources to them such that they can learn more about topics they struggled with. We also tested user design to determine what students
The Grand Challenge that our group has focused on is the single use plastic waste that has increased as a result of the pandemic. Throughout GCI, we have researched various biodegradable materials that have the potential to replace traditional plastic films. We have made it our goal to create a homemade starch-based biodegradable plastic film
