In the era of mass shootings, some high school teens are taking their safety into their own hands. Students from Missouri and South Carolina have been recognized in a nationwide contest for developing contraptions that would increase school safety.
Two groups of high school students have been recognized in a nationwide contest for developing contraptions that would increase safety during a school shooting. A team from Owensville High School in Owensville, Missouri, designed a simple auxiliary steel lock that would add an extra layer of protection to classroom doors.
Because typical door locks can be quickly dismantled with a firearm, the students' invention would make it harder for an intruder to get into a classroom.The contraption is simple to use, said sophomore Jonah Hoffman, one of the students on the Owensville team. The students have already installed it on one classroom door and plan to mass-produce it for the rest of the school, as well as for neighboring schools.
