Jeremiah Zucker and team win STEAM contest

2018 May 4

A team of three computer engineering majors has developed a prototype for an emergency mass notification clock, which won the top prize and $5,000 in Rochester Institute of Technology's first STEAM competition.

The contest, sponsored by RIT's Center for Public Safety Initiatives, encouraged teams of students to develop ways public safety problems can be helped with the use of solutions involving science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.

The winning team included Jeremiah Zucker, and they plan to use the prize money to further develop their idea, which they have named Clockwyse, which can receive digital alerts and display them with sounds and flashing lights.
