An Initiative to give STEM exposure to young women-TrailBlazHER

The Innovation Story is a launchpad to equip young adults with the skills needed to transform them into innovators and changemakers. The focus is on experiential learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Through hands-on experiences, the program inspires students to pursue careers in robotics, software design, engineering, programming, and animation.

Introducing Solve for Society

Solve for Society Challenge is designed to provide a unique opportunity to government school students of Grades 8 to 12 to use technology to solve a real-world problem in their community. In the process, students receive an hands-on exposure to the intriguing world of STEM and Computer Science Education.

The Innovation Story and Amazon Future Engineer invite students of Grades 8 to 12 from Government Schools to participate in the Solve for Society Challenge.

Prize	Team Name	Participants	From
1st	Free Thinkers Problem Statement: When the street light doesn't work the electrician need a crane to climb the pole, or he needed a long ladder, but In narrow street the crane cannot enter and In rainy season or in a normal season the ladder is not the safest choice, breaking of ladder’s step and slipping from the ladder could cause a serious injury even death is possible. And if the street light does not repair on time, it can cause accidents at night and invites the robbers to houses. Many poles have a collection of wires here and there on them, which causes a short circuit. And also the pole turns into a conductor of a current. If any person touches it, it will give him/her an electric shock. Technical Solution: We are working on a Smart pole and Smart Street Light, in which the street lights can come down rather than climbing in the pole. It can prevent dependence on the crane and on the ladder. Smart poles and Smart Street Lights are easy to repair even if they are easy to install. The poles have CCTV cameras for surveillance, especially on crossroads, outside malls, schools and government buildings. It also contains a charging port placed at bus stands.

2nd	Invincible Problem Statement: The problem we are focusing on is Accidents in hilly areas, that might happen due to the overspreading. Technical Solution: The solution we came with is Speed limit warning boards on roadside with full LED screen which will show warning signs whenever driver is overspeeding than will show warning signs whenever driver is overspeeding than specifies limit. Fot that we need a speed detector device, which will capture vehicle's speed. It will be installed after every 100-200 meters so driver have to slow down speed after seeing the warning again and again.	Vaishnavi Rawat, Shivangi Uniyal, Shrishti Thakur	Dehradun, Uttarakhand
3rd	Sunlight Problem Statement: In drainages due to the garbage and some waste materials the water was not flowing properly and so much of water will remains on roads this will causes some bike accidents also. Technical Solution: For the solution we searched so many times in google and also we asked some people how they will clean that garbage.they said that one person will go there and he will clean that garbage with heavy risk.we thought that it is a risky process and it took so much of time .at that time we decided to make a machine to clean this garbage without a mankind involvement finally we made the machine.this machine will automatically clean the drainage by this machine we can easily remove the wastage without mankind involvement.	H.Ganesh, Rudhrappa, Revathi	Gudupalli, Andra Pradesh
Special Mention	Team_4 Problem Statement: Nowadays it is often seen in villages that people get borewells done on the farm or at home. Sometimes the borewell is left open,and sometimes small children or Animals knowingly and unknowingly fall into that borewell while playing, non living objects also fall in that borewell, and people face a lot of problem to remove them. Sometimes living things or small children even die in it, due to which public loss or economic loss is incurred. Technical Solution: We have made a device that has a camera and distance measuring device, oxygen instrument and many more such things which show physical gestures. When an object falls into the borewell, by putting that device in the borewell, we can get information about all the conditions of the object that has fallen in the borewell and help to take out the object without any damage. Through this device, we can save time, remove things so that there is no financial loss and most importantly we can save a person's life.	Ashish Kumawat, Dhanesh Gurjar, Kishan Bairwa	Jaipur, Rajasthan
Special Mention	Changemakers Problem Statement: There is not much awareness in families about the importance of eating healthy and staying fit. Technical Solution: Make a bi-lingual interactive App with information videos in Hindi and in English to make people aware about obesity and fitness and the importance of being healthy so as to reduce obesity related health issues in children.
