According to the National Fire Protection Association, from 2014- 2018, The United States Fire Departments responded to an average of 172,000 home fires per year due to cooking activities. Out of these fires, 31% were caused by unattended cooking equipment, leading to an average of 550 civilian deaths, and 4,820 injuries.
Statement of Purpose
Statement of Purpose
With this project, I want to create a product that will decrease the amount of home fires caused by cooking equipment. The main goal for this product is to make a product that detects temperature and alerts the user when an object is too hot nearby. I want this product to be easily accessible for any household.
About Me:
My name is Brianna Leyva, and I am currently a senior at Chapin High School in El Paso, Texas. Here at Chapin, I am enrolled in the Engineering Magnet Program, and am involved in girls’ soccer and student council. I will be graduating this June and afterwards, I will be attending University of Arizona in the fall of 2023, where I will be pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience. I have always been interested on the cognitive functions of the brain and how it affects human behavior, which is the reason I chose to purse neuroscience as my major. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening throughout the spring, playing soccer, and playing with my dogs.
