Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students from Shelton Intermediate and Perry Hill schools are on a team that created “Smart Sticker,” an innovative solution to protect consumers from contaminated eggs.
The “Smart Sticker” idea is an indicator sticker on the outside of refrigerated food packaging (eggs) that indicates with a green sticker if the food product has been kept at the correct temperature during its transportation and storage. Click here to read more information.
The team won the Championship Award at the FLL Regional Qualifying Robotics Tournament — and the Best Innovative Solution Award at the FLL Connecticut State Tournament.
Team members Victoria O’Malley, Keyur Shah, Raj Ganjikunta, Arivand Ravishankar, Sejal Bhargava, David Dzujna, and Joseph Niski are now waiting to hear if they qualify for the FLL Global Innovation award.
