12. Find the Fox
• Issue: wildlife displaced
during wildfires
• Area of focus: tracking kit
foxes
• Solution: process image
data from networked wildlife
cameras to determine kit fox
movements and migrations
• Because you have to find
the fox before you can
follow the fox
Because Judges Alyssa Haerle and
Kevin Mershon wanted to build
something too…
