About

Have you ever wondered where something you're touching has been? Has that something ever been your shopping cart? Think about it, thousands of people use shopping carts regularly, what if they are sick, or didn't wash their hands after using the bathroom? There are reasons upon reasons as to why people would be carrying an easily spreadable virus or bacteria, wouldn't it be nice to decrease the spread of these germs? My design would be able to clean shopping carts over night, every night, to minimize the localized spread of germs and bacteria, as well as comforting people into knowing that they are less likely to get ill shopping at a store that is using this design. If the prototyping is successful, then I will work on a patent as not to loose the rights to my idea, and then I will show everyone my sketches as well as how it works. Anyone who could even donate $5 would really be helping, as I don't have much money to spare on materials and tools.

I'm currently planning on making a small shed in my back yard to have as a work space as my house is usually noisy and disruptive and I would like to have peace and quiet to work on this project. I'll be putting as much free time as I can find into it because I believe that this project will heavily decrease the number of outbreaks and even general spreading of germs and disease in local areas, so the sooner i can get to work and create this, the better.

My teacher has offered to find me an electrical engineering student to help me with the programming involved as I myself don't have enough experience with it, but I already have plans as to how I will be making the rest of my design.
