Meet 14-year-old Naya Ellis from New Orleans, the inventor of WingItt—a smart wristwatch that detects early signs of a stroke. Inspired by her family's health battles, Naya developed the device through the STEM NOLA Fellows Program and is now preparing to showcase it in Washington, DC.

Her story is a reminder that some of the world's biggest ideas begin with curiosity, compassion, and the courage to build.

You're never too young to solve a real problem.

As a teenager, she designed WingItt—a wearable device aimed at detecting the early signs of a stroke and making life-saving technology more accessible.

Naya Ellis developed WingItt after her grandmother suffered a stroke. She built the first prototype in a single weekend.

If you're young and building something that could change lives, let this be your reminder: your ideas matter.
