JPL Invention Challenge "Sticky Wicket"

JPL Website

In this year's Sticky Wicket challenge, our objective is to create a device that can hit five different balls through five different targets (wickets). Everything is supposed to be completed in under 60 seconds, with the team with the most amount of points winning. Our team is Ocean's 1011/XI/B.

Capstone Project

My team - Jacques Barnett, Jacob Gonzalez, and myself (Alexa Duffy) - tackle the dangers of sun glare while driving for our senior capstone project.

Our Device

The solution we came up with is a small piece of smart film that sticks to the car windshield through the use of adhesive tape. The smart film can then switch through three states: transparent, translucent, and opaque, depending on the driver's preference.
