  • Makena Pedersen and Aurora Obie have created an app through a partnership between Starbase Montana, Code Girls United and Helena schools.

Two students from Montana, 17-year-old Kael Becerra from Missoula and 16-year-old Kaden Hott from Kalispell, have been invited to Washington D.C. to showcase their innovative app at the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow National Competition. Their app, named "The Smartest Trash Can," uses AI to sort trash into the correct recycling categories, aiming to reduce contamination in recycling streams. The students developed this project as part of a class assignment, and after winning at the state level, they are now competing nationally for a chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes. Their project not only addresses environmental concerns but also highlights the potential of technology in solving real-world problems.
