#FutureSTEMGems 💎 Two sixth grade girls develop award-winning medical app "When Mars Area Centennial School incoming sixth-graders Hannah Nam and Kristin Sadhu noticed family members forgetting to take or give medicine, they created Medilog, a progressive web app that helps keep track of a person's medication administration. The project earned them first place in a spring contest created by global non-profit Technovation, which aims to empower girls 8-18 to pursue careers in technology — the Allegheny Intermediate Unit sponsored Technovation Girls Pennsylvania Regional Pitch Event. As part of their entry, Hannah and Kristin produced a 100-word or less description of their project, a pitch video, a technical video as well as their mobile app source code and AI training data. Both students received certificates of recognition noting their outstanding work in the development of a mobile app that could solve a real problem in the community. Kristin dedicated the project to her mother, Sneha, and others. 'When my brother and I were sick, my mom, a real hero, would have to write down every medication she gave us in a little journal,' Kristin said. 'She would forget to give us the next dose on time, or would leave it in one place, then have to call my dad to go get it while my brother cried in pain. 'When she was sick or bedridden and my dad was at work, she would call me on her phone, which she always kept on hand. After asking around, I realized this was a common problem among parents.' Hannah thought about her grandparents, who occasionally forget to take their medication. 'Though it isn't life threatening for them, it could be for others,' she said. 'This was one of the reasons why we wanted to create Medilog, an app where people don't have to worry as much.'"

🫀🫀That's the sound of my heart beating to an hour-long electric propulsion video on YouTube <33 Even though they're the heart of a spacecraft, there is a lot to innovate in the realm of propulsion systems to get to Mars and beyond! This one is a personal favorite of our founder Tashfia Diha, who researched electric propulsion for a year at The Knowledge Society! If you're interested in innovating propulsion systems, join us as a mentee when our mentorship program opens for our Future of Space competitions! 🏆

David Vargas was instrumental in the launch of the Women's Aerospace Network. We are proud to help amplify the launch of his non-profit teaching engineering principles, Astranavem. David's LinkedIn content breaks down complex concepts for aspiring engineers, and we are very pleased Astranavem will continue these lessons. To support them in this critical time, please give Astranavem a follow, and check out their Patreon page: https://lnkd.in/eEHqjm2M https://lnkd.in/esf78C6p

Many in my network may know the kind and knowledgeable systems engineer, David Vargas. He is launching a non-profit, Astranavem, focused on space career coaching and providing technical training in space-related subjects. The Women's Aerospace Network and I are very pleased to support Astranavem's efforts, and we look forward to the impact it will make in the lives of aspiring engineers.
