The worst personal circumstances can lead to the most impactful discoveries.

Massachusetts 14-year-old Sarah Wang was so shocked after seeing her grandmother have a debilitating epileptic seizure that she worked hard for months to develop the Hand Band. The wearable device senses rapid seizure-related hand movements and notifies a caregiver, which Sarah hopes will save lives. The Hand Band recently earned Sarah the title 2025 National STEM Champion.

Sarah stays curious about the world around her and offers this simple advice: “If you see a problem, if you see something happening, just think about what you can do to help the situation.”
