Obama Honors Three NCSSM Students at White House Science Fair

Ada Taylor, Katrina Gutierrez and Greeshma Somashekar – all seniors at NCSSM – were recognized by President Obama at the White House Science Fair for their 2011 grand prize in the cyber-security category at the Conrad Foundation’s annual Spirit of Innovation Summit. Their potentially life saving product, MedPAL, works with a Bluetooth-enabled heart monitor to relay GPS coordinates to an emergency call center in the event of a cardiac irregularity. The product also notifies personal emergency contacts.
