Shreya Suresh, a high school intern in the lab, won the Congressional App Challenge.

Shreya created an app called “Sightly” for people who are visually impaired. The app uses a smartphone’s camera to identify objects in the world, like a staircase or crosswalk signal, and report them to the user with audio messages.
