Congratulations to our STEM-azing Mustangs! Eight Mitchell students have been
announced as winners of the 34th annual Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision competition
rising to the top of over 3,000 team entries. ExploraVision is the world’s largest K-12
STEM competition. The ExploraVision competition empowers students to apply
research knowledge and engineering design skills to tackle real world problems. These
winning students envision creative solutions to issues that they are passionate about
solving.
On March 12, Natalie Zhao and Emily Zhang’s NeuroNavigator innovation was
announced as Regional Winner for the competition. The NeuroNavigator is an
accessible, AI-assisted, helmet-style scanner designed to detect brain tumors in early
stages, it can save lives, reduce treatment costs, and make brain scans as common as
checking blood pressure. Our Regional Winners each received a laptop computer from
Toshiba International and are now taking their innovation for early brain tumor
diagnoses to the next level as one of just 24 teams moving on to the National
competition. Natalie and Emily are now developing a 3D prototype of NeuroNavigator,
a website highlighting the features and benefits of their technology and a 2 minute
video showcasing how their innovation uniquely tackles brain tumors to provide better
outcomes for patients. The first place prize for a National Winning team is a trip to
Washington, DC to present the technology and a $10,000 scholarship for each team
member.
Additionally, three teams received Honorable Mention in the competition placing them
in the top 10% of all ExploraVision entries.
Wesley Meier and Colby Kovac’s WildGuard - Honorable Mention for a tracker and
mobile alert systems eliminating driver collisions with wildlife.
Aimal Rehan and Izabel Zina’s Hydronyx - Honorable Mention for bioengineered
microbes cleaning polluted water.
William Barack and Nikhilan Vijay’s MediPal - Honorable Mention for a friendly
healthcare robot designed to detect and improve childhood malnutrition.
We celebrate all our ExploraVision winners and are cheering for team NeuroNavigator
as they progress to this next level of competition.
