1st Place: The Space Umbrella
Team: Poverty Preventers

The solution created by this team provides portable protection from extreme weather conditions including low temperatures, precipitation, and harsh sun. People experiencing poverty and homelessness are often at a loss for shelter. With climate change becoming more and more prominent, the shelter necessity is growing. Unexpected extreme weather fluctuations subject people lacking shelter to many serious life threatening reactions. Shelters that provide cover are often not accessible.

Created by a 9th grade team with two girls and one boy from Mount Everest Academy in San Diego, California, and supported by educator Eric Nielson.

The team and the educator have chosen to donate their $1000 first place prize to Helping Other People (HOPe).
