About

Shaurya Sharma is a seventh-grader who attends the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute in Santa Clara, California. He is an avid student who decided to investigate how important protection tools in social settings such as face masks and shields, could also assist in maintaining advised distancing protocols using sensor-based technology.

He is interested in robotics, programming, and design, and hopes to utilize these skills as he implements more research and experimentation to make his prototype all the more effective. Currently, Shaurya plans to design his mask to be more commercially viable, accessible, and affordable for public usage.
