Two students from Trigg County High School recently claimed first place in the Lieutenant Governor’s Entrepreneurship Challenge.
Advised by Lori Ricks, the Trigg County ‘G-CAN’ team members Cade Bleidt and Grace Knight each won $15,000 in scholarship funds to be used at any in state post-secondary school or program.
They pitched a prototype for a medical alert bracelet that delivers aid in the event of a medical emergency attack, even if someone is unconscious and cannot press a button, immediately notifying their emergency contact or 911. The device would be programmable to accommodate specific parameters, helping those with conditions including seizure disorders or Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
