St. Vrain Valley School's student team is one of 15 teams across the country designated as an InvenTeam. Students will receive $10,000 to design a new, cost-effective, portable emergency beacon system for everyday citizens to use in situations where they are trapped or lost without cell service and do not have access to 911 or other emergency communication systems.
To provide media outlets more details about this accomplishment, students, teachers and staff will hold a 'press day' for interviews and additional press coverage on Wednesday, November 1 from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m., at the Innovation Center of St. Vrain Valley Schools, located at 1200 S. Sunset St., in Longmont.
