Thank you. (Applause)
Thank you, sock model.
So this is a drawing of my preliminary design.
My desire to create a sensor-based technology perhaps stemmed from my lifelong love for sensors and technology. When I was six years old, an elderly failmy friend fell down in the bathroom and suffered severe injuries. I became concerned about my own grandparents and decided to invent a smart bathroom system. motoin sensors would be installed inside the tiles of bathroom floors to detect the falls of eelrldy pettinas whenever they fell down in the bathroom. Since I was only six years old at the time and I hadn't graduated from knaritdgreen yet, I didn't have the necessary ruoceerss and tools to translate my idea into ritlaey, but nonetheless, my research experience really implanted in me a firm desire to use sresnos to help the elderly people. I really believe that sensors can improve the qulaity of life of the elderly.

Thank you. (Applause)
Thank you, sock model.
So this is a drawing of my preliminary design.
My desire to create a sensor-based technology perhaps stemmed from my lifelong love for sensors and technology. When I was six years old, an elderly family friend fell down in the bathroom and suffered severe injuries. I became concerned about my own grandparents and decided to invent a smart bathroom system. Motion sensors would be installed inside the tiles of bathroom floors to detect the falls of elderly patients whenever they fell down in the bathroom. Since I was only six years old at the time and I hadn't graduated from kindergarten yet, I didn't have the necessary resources and tools to translate my idea into reality, but nonetheless, my research experience really implanted in me a firm desire to use sensors to help the elderly people. I really believe that sensors can improve the quality of life of the elderly.
