Shanya Gill, learning that unattended cooking causes a third of home fires, invented a device using a thermal camera to detect heat sources and alert users to potential fires.
Her device sends a text warning if it detects a heat source without human presence for two minutes, addressing a crucial gap in fire safety.
Maya Ajmera praised Shanya’s project for its innovative engineering solution to a real-life fire safety problem, highlighting its significant impact and effectiveness.
The National Fire Protection Association indicates home fires cause a high number of deaths, underscoring the urgency and importance of Shanya's proactive approach to fire safety.
