Prosthetics with the sense of touch: two brothers from Ukraine presented their project at the NASA Space Center, beating thousands of competitors in an international competition

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
A schoolboy from Mykolaiv created an MVP of an application to combat social media addiction. The development of the full version is estimated at $280,000
A schoolboy from Kyiv region came up with a way to protect drones from enemy electronic warfare. Plans are underway to launch the development into mass production
Божество, зореліт, уламок планети: що людство знає про Місяць і як збирається туди повертатися
16 листопада 2022 року NASA успішно запустила місію Artemis 1 до Місяця. Ракета Space Launch System (SLS) і корабель Orion стартували о 8:47 за Києвом із космічного центру Кеннеді на мисі Канаверал. Задача корабля Orion — покрутитися навколо супутника Землі шість днів і повернутися на Землю, після чого можна запускати людей. Якщо все пройде успішно, уже за кілька років ми побачимо грандіозний камбек і реюньон людства на супутник Землі. Що ми знаємо про Місяць, чому так довго його ігнорували та як будемо повертатися — в оновленому завдяки успішному старту (нарешті!) суперексплейнері від dev.ua від 29 серпня 2022 року.
