We worked with the National Park’s NAGRPA staff to index specific issues, tribes, or institutions within the Review Committee minutes. The project created a thesaurus introduction and tagged institutions that update the Review Committee, as well as provided the reason (i.e. request for disposition, request for finding of fact/dispute, presentation, or public/written comment). Our project enables NAGPRA staff to search the minutes for specific issues they encounter regularly, and provides them a more comprehensive view of current needs. It will thus enable visibility of indigenous issues and make them more accessible, transparent, and useful to NAGPRA.

Nevermind is a video game targeted towards youth, that aims to entertain and introduce the very serious topic of mental health in an immersive, authentic, and meaningful way. Mental health refers to one’s psychological, emotional, and social well-being, all of which can influence one’s mood, behavior, and decision making. We found that there is a still lack of resources for youth to feel comfortable talking about mental health and getting help.

Create a system that acts as an intermediary between ShakeAlert earthquake warnings and the public, such as schools in Washington State. The system broadcasts earthquake warnings and aftermath effects related to earthquakes in a fast and reliable manner such that students and faculty can take appropriate actions to protect themselves. The system can be easily adopted to target different groups such as first responders and families. In addition, the system determines some baseline latency metrics between different components to offer a comparison between different solutions and evaluate the efficiency in broadcasting ShakeAlert information.
