As a state winner for SAMSUNG's Solve for Tomorrow’s project, our team of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from Garey High school is creating a unique vaping detector. We need your support to build and test our detector to be deployed at our local schools. Your sponsorship will contribute to  eradicate vaping among teenage students by allowing the team of innovators to apply their ambition to learn and their commitment to create change and building a safer environment. The funds will be used to combine computer programming, advanced 3D engineering and scientifically proven nano-technology to detect the exact chemicals produced by vaping.

We hope to get this invention across the nation. Our invention will be able to identify teenagers who vape in the classroom and school bathrooms.   

Why should Vaping be stoped?

Vaping is a community problem that is harmful for everyone's health.

JUUL sales increased by more than 600% every year!” and  “7 out of every 10 ads advertise E-cigarettes.”

Regular Vaping sensors are failing to detect the exact chemicals of a Juul!
The chemicals in vaping are known to cause cancer and other illness.
