Center Grove High School recently issued the following announcement.
CGHS students advance to Top 10 Finals in national contest
The Center Grove High School team of seniors Ananya Balaji, Hope Mander, Paige Merrill, Madelyn Siems, Shelby Walker, and Shirley Zheng was named a National Finalist in the 12th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest. The team's project uses biometric technology to create a device that will sit on the dashboard and alert the driver when their eyes look away from the road. The team's sponsor is CGHS teacher Andrea Teevan.
As one of 10 National Finalists, the students have earned a prize of $50,000 in technology and classroom supplies for CGHS. They are also eligible to win an additional $10,000 in technology through the Community Choice Award. Online voting is now underway on the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow website. (Click here to vote now! You may vote once a day through April 24.) In late spring, three National Winners will be named and awarded a 100,000 prize for their school.
The Samsung contest is a nationwide education competition that challenges 6-12th grade students and their teachers to creatively use STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills to address a community challenge.
