A new video featuring Smart Tech Challenges Foundation grantee Kai Kloepfer, part of Webby-nominated series Luminaries, has gone VIRAL this week after being promoted by UPROXX and Guns.com. It's attracted nearly 11,000,000 views and 100,000 Facebook likes -- all in less than 48 hours.
Kai is using the $50,000 grant he received from the Smart Tech Challenges Foundation to integrate a biometric fingerprint sensor onto a live firearm. This gun would prevent unauthorized users from firing the weapon, reducing accidental injury and death, and keeping homes across America safer.
The conversation around gun violence and firearms safety in America may seem gridlocked, but Kai is working on a solution that can make a difference as soon as consumers start using it. We're proud to help Kai and others like him make these smarter technologies a reality.
