Project Title: The Sirena
Project Team Members: Emma Boykin and Keegan Moldenhauer
Project Description: Simply-we want to make a bracelet that promotes safety and comfort on college campuses.
However, in order for this bracelet to do its job it has to be worn and to be worn it has to look good. Hence why our goal is to create a discrete safety bracelet that looks like an ordinary piece of jewelry that can be worn from the day going into the night. Once a specific button is pushed for a specific distress situation, the wearer of the bracelet will see a part of the bracelet light up letting them know that someone is coming to help
