“When I thought about going to NASA headquarters in DC, I was speechless at first,” says Sofia Silva, ’24 Software Engineering, one of the leads of the Project Firewatch team. “I didn't know what to think. It's surreal that it all happened in the first place.” Their idea, a drone that used wildfire trajectory software to help track and disseminate information about where a fire might be going next, started as a senior design project and led them to a second-place finish for best new innovation out of 147 teams (and a cash prize) at the Silicon Valley Innovation Challenge (SVIC). This gave them a chance to present their work at NASA headquarters, where they were runner-up in the NASA Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) Wildfire Climate Tech Challenge. Now they hope to reach more people with their product.
