At 16, an engineering student built a patented robot to help divers search beneath ice
A team of Natick High School students, including 16-year-old Katelyn Sweeney, designed and patented a remotely operated underwater robot for dangerous ice rescue missions. This innovation, born from collaboration with the local fire department, allows for pre-search of hazardous underwater environments, significantly enhancing diver safety. The project's real-world impact earned it recognition at the White House Science Fair.
