Viktoriia Galushchak, a student at St. Paul’s Riverside, recently won 1st place in Computer Science at the North Florida Regional Science and Engineering Fair. The story behind her science project is unforgettable.
They rushed to the border of Romania after Russia took control of the Chornobyl power plant. Viktoriia’s father was military age, so they had to leave him behind.“It was a hard decision, but I realized how dangerous the situation was so I had no choice,” Viktoriia’s mother, Olga Galushchak, said.
Olga said they flagged down a passing driver, but the man and his passenger could not understand them.“They were deaf/mute,” Viktoriia said. “It was complicated for us to communicate, but still they helped us get to a hostel for refugees.”Viktoriia and her family came to Jacksonville, where a family friend helped them find shelter. Her father was able to join them eight months later after receiving a medical waiver.
Viktoriia came up with the idea to create a computer program that converts sign language into letters. The 12-year-old’s science project allows someone who is deaf/mute to sign into any device with a camera. The program then translates the sign language into letters.
