Brothers Mykhailo and Mykola Draliuk became finalists in The Conrad Challenge, a prestigious annual international STEM competition for teenagers, founded in honor of astronaut Pete Conrad.
This was reported by the Nova Study international school in Warsaw of the Study.ua network, where Mykhailo is currently studying. His older brother Mykola is a graduate of this school, who is currently continuing his studies in the USA.
Together, they entered the TOP-6 in the world in the "Health and Nutrition" category, beating out competition from over 1,500 teams from 71 countries.
The winner was the ReTouch — Own Your Touch Again project. This is a sensory feedback system for people with upper limb prostheses that restores the sense of touch.
It should be noted that this is not just schoolwork, but a full-fledged startup: from the idea to the search for partners.
The guys independently developed the device, found partners, went through all the selection stages, and presented the project at NASA's Houston Space Center.
Plans include production and partnership with Ukraine Protez and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute
