High school students from the Quarry Lane School in Dublin, CA
It all started with us, your typical high schoolers, coming together first under a shared passion for engineering. At that point, we had still had *no clue* what community issue we would take on. After a few weeks of chatting and getting to know each other, we discovered a second common interest: sports. It was these two shared passions that started us down the path we’re on now.
From there, one of the team members actually recalled a time she played against California School for the Deaf’s basketball team in elementary school. We began doing more research on this topic by interviewing a few members of the community, and finally coming to the objective we wanted to address: assisting deaf athletes communicate in sports.
The Team
While our team is composed of students from grades nine through eleven with an intense passion for engineering, each member has unique characteristics, talents, and different strengths. A mutual interest in STEM and a passion for sports brought the members together under a single team and goal: the Quarry Lane InvenTeam.
