 13-Year-Old Pakistani Girl Honored by NASA for Life-Saving Invention

13-year-old Bisma Salangi, a student at Evergreen Secondary School in Karachi, has received recognition from NASA for her outstanding accomplishments. The anti-sleep glasses created by Salangi are intended to stop drivers from dozing off while operating a vehicle, hence lowering collision rates and enhancing traffic safety. 

She was invited to NASA's camp to hone her skills and produce even more spectacular inventions after her concept captured their notice. Salangi emphasised Pakistanis' potential in a conversation with ARY, as well as the value of tenacity in accomplishing extraordinary things.

Drowsy driving is a serious problem in Pakistan and across the globe since it endangers both drivers and other road users. According to the World Health Organisation, a sizable percentage of road traffic occurrences worldwide are caused by fatigue-related accidents. 

Drowsy drivers are less aware, have more microsleep episodes, have trouble making decisions, and are more likely to drift or leave their lane. To solve this problem, it is critical to raise public knowledge about the risks of drowsy driving, recognise the symptoms of fatigue, prioritise getting enough rest, and promote alternate transportation options. Innovative solutions that have the potential to save many lives on the road are created in large part by inventors like Bisma Salangi.
