During this event, our girls engaged in hands-on activities spanning STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. Through engaging experiences, they gained invaluable insights into the educational and career avenues awaiting them post-high school. At the event's culmination, our students collaborated with peers from other schools to tackle an exciting challenge: devising a product to benefit 1,000 individuals within their community. In a whirlwind of creativity, our girls showcased their ingenuity by conceiving a groundbreaking idea for a smartphone application named "Theorofy: It Might Be a Theory, It Might Be a Threat!" The winning team, consisting of Chantel Lozano, Jacquelin Reyes, Alessandra Castillo, Jocelyn Garcia Ayala, Sarah Albazh, Gabriela Porcayo, Sedra Muayad, Azucena Reyes, Cristina Porcayo, and Brianna Paz Avila, impressed judges with their innovative solution aimed at enhancing smartphone security.   One of the Draper 3 teams also won the Tech Challenge.  "Theorofy" integrates an AI assistant named "Theo" to screen calls and messages for potential scams or threats, providing users a shield against digital vulnerabilities. Moreover, the app's future update promises to empower users with online presence monitoring capabilities, ensuring their digital footprint remains secure. Driven by a commitment to technological advancement and user safety, our girls envisioned "Theorofy" as a free app operated by a non-profit organization equipped with round-the-clock customer support and a welcoming interface. The SheTech event served as a compelling platform for our girls to explore, innovate, and collaborate. With enthusiasm abound, they eagerly anticipate returning next year, poised to inspire even more peers to join them on this remarkable journey of discovery and innovation!
