CYBEAR BOTS make the semi-finals in the Innovation Challenge presented by Qualcomm
The CYBEAR BOTS have worked very hard during this year working on a unique challenge remotely.
The challenge presented was to identify a problem or opportunity and design a solution to help people (or a community of people) keep, regain, or achieve optimum physical and/or mental health and fitness through active play or movement.
The team developed the Way-To-Go Cane to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating their community. The team competed with 883 teams worldwide. CYBEAR BOTS had to present their idea and business plan in a Zoom interview. Based on that, the team qualified to move on to the Semi-finals. Currently, they are the 4th youngest team in their grouping moving on and their local competitor is the Bronx High School of Science. Only 116 teams moved on.
We now wait to see if they make the finals! Congratulations on a job well-done and perseverance during a difficult year.
