Team Solar Sip consisting of McIntosh High juniors Rachael Lin and Anshika Gaur presented their project on an innovative water filtration system designed to address the severe water crisis in regions where access to drinkable water is limited. Powered by sunlight, it eliminates the need for electricity, making it ideal for remote and off-grid areas.
McIntosh junior Aadi Vaidya presented his project TremorTech which aims to improve the quality of life for Parkinson’s patients through the use of wearable technology to reduce the debilitating effect of tremors with a commitment to affordability and innovation.
