Here\u2019s a sample of what the students presented:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An app for a medical equipment gemach<\/strong>: Lev Hedva is a voluntary organisation that loans out medical equipment, free of charge. It was in need of an administrative tool to track equipment and volunteers, easier to use than pen and paper. Students Alon Kitin, Amir Alkalay, Elad Badikhi, Ido Magner, Linoy Keren, Matan Beigel, Tomer Katz and Uriya Habura,, together with the Technion Social Hub, rose to the challenge. With an interface for volunteers, administrators, and clients, the app streamlines the process of getting all the relevant medical equipment to those who need it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guitar Hero glove<\/strong>: Rehabilitating the fingers after injury, or a neurological event takes repeating the same motion over and over, touching the tip of each finger with the thumb again and again. But what if the experience could be gamified? This group actually makes the process fun. Nadav Heller, Eran Cohen, and Gilad El-Dor constructed a glove with electronic fingertips, turning the boring repetition into Guitar Hero, even with performance stats for each finger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A boost for the Olympic windsurfing team<\/strong>: In every country, in every sport, cutting-edge technology helps athletes go faster, higher, stronger. Tracking the athletes\u2019 movement and the forces they exert is one way to analyze and improve their performance. The BioMotion Lab, led by Prof. Arielle Fischer from the Faculty of Biomedical engineering, partnered with Computer Science students Nikol Roshrosh, Marina Khizgilova and Omri Ben-Altabe to create a graphical interface for the body sensors athletes wear in training. This tool will help our athletes go for the gold.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sports for people with intellectual disabilities<\/strong>: the apps we use aren\u2019t really made for people with intellectual disabilities. But the tools we use, such as sports tracking apps \u2013could benefit those people, just as well, to stay fit and healthy. Students Galia Yahya and cousins Mohamed and Adan Wattad partnered with the Etgarim non-profit to create a simplified training app. Etgarim match each user with a coach and training program. The app enables communication between all of them, with activity tracking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel as a family<\/strong>: Have you ever travelled with family? Tried to schedule things to please everyone? How about make sure someone\u2019s bringing the sunscreen? And what if, , when you arrive, you find nobody brought one? Tom Dana, Elad Levy and Shahar Shitrit decided to cut through trip-planning chaos with an app that combines a calendar schedule, equipment lists, a map, and more. Called \u201cTravel Maker\u201d, the app is available in the Google Store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_54592\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54592\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5-\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d5\u05d1\u05d9\u05e5-\u05dc\u05d1-\u05ea\u05e7\u05d5\u05d5\u05d4-\u05e2\u05dd-\u05d4\u05e1\u05d8\u05d5\u05d3\u05e0\u05d8\u05d9\u05dd.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54592 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5-\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d5\u05d1\u05d9\u05e5-\u05dc\u05d1-\u05ea\u05e7\u05d5\u05d5\u05d4-\u05e2\u05dd-\u05d4\u05e1\u05d8\u05d5\u05d3\u05e0\u05d8\u05d9\u05dd-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Elijah Alovich from &quot;Lev Hedva&quot; with students\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-54592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elijah Alovich from &#8220;Lev Hedva&#8221; with students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Technion congratulates the graduating computer science students on their achievements, and wishes them tremendous success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a fair showcasing their keystone projects, students from the Henry and Marilyn Taub faculty of Computer Science showed off their work.
