September STEMworks Solutions Challenge winner! In partnership with Legacy for Life

Today we announced the winner of our STEMworks Solutions Challenge Winner in Partnership with Legacy of Life. Leesa of Mililani High School took home First Place! Her Solution, the Organ Recovery Time Calculator, is a website that automates the calculation of time between each step of the organ recovery process from the time the surgery starts to the time the organ departs on a flight to a potential receiver.

Using several different APIs the Organ Recovery Time Calculator will allow the Legacy of Life team to select a flight, identify the airport and hospital, and calculate the time each step needs to be started for a successful organ recovery and donation.

Leesa will receive a paid 6-week internship with the Legacy of Life team to develop and test her solution, as well as an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset loaded with a 3D Organ VR Experience. Congratulations Leesa and Mahalo to STEMworks Facilitator Mr. Kikugawa

Mahalo to all who participated, our facilitators, and our partner Legacy for Life.
