The @SHSWInvenTeam found a mentor in Glen Meyerowitz of @UCLAengineering. He's helping the #InvenTeam develop a wearable sensor to notify users of their distance to others. Originally created for those w autism, the device also helps w social distancing. https://t.co/ZxgO529pXP.
The @SHSWInvenTeam is currently working on our prototype for our personal distance monitor. We are testing different IR sensors that sync with an app being developed using MIT App Inventor. The app connects to the device to detect incoming IR data. @LemelsonMIT#InventTeam
