Middle schooler creates invention to remove car blind spots
The student, Alaina Gassler, made the gadget using a webcam, projector, and 3D-printed materials. Gassler placed the webcam outside of the passenger side while displaying the live video on a projector on the driver’s side. The student’s work earned her $25,000 and winner of the competition.
