Here is more information on the top three teams from this year’s Polar Innovation Exchange.

🏆 Veil Haven Jewels
Ava Bateson (Business), Brianna Brewer (Business), Emersyn Gerken (Business), Alexa Lane (Business), and Shelby Tope (Engineering) created a stylish safety charm bracelet designed to blend fashion with personal security. The bracelet connects instantly to Life360 at the press of a button, alerting trusted contacts and emergency services when needed. It also includes functional charms such as an alarm, compass, and pepper spray, making it a discreet everyday safety tool.

🥈 Word Wizard
Ethan D'Souza (Engineering), Logan Frazer (Engineering), Jeremiah Koenig (Engineering), Aiden McManis (Engineering), Collin Snider (Engineering), and Owen Willoughby (Engineering) developed Word Wizard, a handheld device designed to give non-verbal individuals a simpler, more reliable way to give clearer speech by using programmable "Smart" cards. By tapping a card to the device, it instantly speaks the selected word, requiring no screen, no internet, and imposing no limitations.

🥉 Safe Sip
Brayden Bayles (Engineering), Jacob Haney (Pharmacy), Leah Orr (Engineering), and Christopher Ritchie (Engineering), took third place with their stainless-steel tumbler that provides a safe approach to drinking hot liquids. The device features a built-in probe that checks the beverage’s temperature and provides clear, intuitive feedback—displaying a green light when it is safe to drink and a red light when it is too hot.

We are super proud of our students and the creativity, innovation, and hard work they brought to this year’s competition. Congratulations to our top three teams!
