Lack of access to clean drinking water is an immediate issue that needs to be addressed. Our goal was to build a cost-effective and efficient solar desalination model that can bring clean drinking water to families in need. For our solution, we devised a blueprint of our portable solar desalination model, estimated an idealistic water
The challenge that our team sought to resolve is the fact that nurses and other medical practitioners often have to face heavy fees and hurdles in order to gain hands-on experience and education in the classroom through standardized patients. These paid actors can be expensive and limited, and as a result, we decided to develop
Our project, Mellow Fellows, began with the goal of tackling the challenge of mental health issues. We concentrated specifically on Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) because of the prevalence and severity of the illness in society today. By creating a relaxing, fun, and simple pet care video game, we hoped to use the positive effects of
Our project combats the outdated interface of my.chapman, which is difficult to navigate and visually unappealing, by redefining the student learning experience that it cultivates. We have made an app that is more user-friendly and aims to make the learning experience unique and more helpful to them based on how they digest information. This takes
A DeepFake is a digitally altered face intended to mimic another person. This technology is advancing rapidly, with the amount of DeepFakes increasing by 84% in 2019. Traditional detection methods that observe artifact and pixel inconsistencies fail to keep up. To combat this issue, our team developed a DeepFake detection software that: analyzes facial data
Our grand challenge addresses the decline in Apis mellifera populations and proposes a solution for preserving this species of pollinator by providing them with a more nutritious diet. As a team, we have conducted research to identify four plants that show potential for providing bees with novel health benefits. The four plants we chose to

The goal of our project is to develop an affordable meal replacement bar to help mitigate the rising obesity rates, specifically in college students. Moreover, our proposed solution is a meal replacement bar that would provide an adult person with all of the necessary nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals) needed in a given
While the majority of heart arrhythmias have been treated through implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) or orally through medication, many of these treatments have not provided fast-acting relief from an arrhythmia, and have led to malfunctions in sensing of ICD and damage to organs by Amiodarone. Our goal for our project takes a two-pronged approach, which
