The Valley STEM + ME2 Academy InvenTeam invented a danger alert system for schools. The system places microphones in classrooms to detect and locate gunshots. When a gunshot is detected, nearby classroom doors are shut and an electromagnetic lock is activated to keep people in the classroom safe. An array of red, green, and yellow lights are located in the hallway above each classroom to indicate the current threat level based on the proximity to the detected gun shot.
