A pair of Nome students were recognized this past weekend in Fairbanks for projects they entered in the Alaska Innovation Competition: an app to report animal sightings and a snow-cone maker that uses actual snow.
Denali Walrath and Bradley Rowe were winners at the 2023 Alaska Innovation Competition in Fairbanks.
Denali Walrath and Bradley Rowe took part in the competition, with Walrath taking first place in the Cub Division with her “Animal Alert” app idea. As one of the top finishers, Walrath’s award included $500 cash and a $2,000 contribution to her Alaska 529 college savings plan. “I first got the idea when there was attacks,” Denali Walrath said. “There was a person who got attacked walking to Nome Elementary School, and that really made me think of the actual idea for that alert, to alert them of the animal.”
“It’s an ideas competition, so, when she finished, she was speaking with some of the faculty at UAF in the engineering department,” Doug Walrath said. “They noted how they would have undergraduate students or graduate students that could work with her in the future doing the programming, the coding department, skills an 11-year-old just doesn’t have.”
