The device tracks an infant’s temperature and alerts parents when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Conrad Challenge is one of the most highly regarded worldwide STEM competitions. A  yearly international competition, it involves innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, as students work to design and research a purpose-driven innovation to be judged by industry experts and business owners. This year’s competition saw over 800 teams from 56 countries, students ages 15-18, participate, and Gulliver was the only school to send a pair of teams to the Summit.
