Alberto Alvarez, Elise Escobar, Savanna Martinez, Kiara Zamora, and Natalie Zepeda, all 10th graders at CAST STEM, won first place and best in show last week at San Antonio's first-ever Invention Convention -- a program by the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. The win secured the students' spot in the national competition in Detroit.
The team won with its multi-use jacket invention that aims to protect homeless from the changing weather by using build-in “smart” weather-sensing technology. The jacket can also be converted into a tent jacket, a backpack, an umbrella and much more.
