STEM 3 & 4:  Capstone Projects

Video Game Controller Challenge:  Non-standard hand positions are extremely common for many reasons. It could be muscular dystrophy or an amputation or even just simply a preference. Unfortunately, there’s no perfect one-size-fits-all solution for a problem like this. Even two people with the same physical need may prefer different setups. In this contest, we want to create a library of 3D printed parts that can attach non-destructively to a game controller to allow for non-standard hand positions. That means, parts that can just clip on or assemble around the controller without harming it, or requiring disassembly

Capstone Project(Stark Tank Competition):  Stark Tank-High School Edition is a program designed to inspire and develop an entrepreneurial mindset in local high school students. The program’s culminating event is a business pitch competition modeled after the television show Shark Tank. Finalists, as individual or student teams, pitch their killer business ideas to a panel of Stark County Sharks (successful local entrepreneurs who serve as judges).  The students receive expert feedback and compete for an investment from the Sharks to pursue their ideas.

Finalist: Body Menegay and Grayden Clark who earned top prize of $2500
