Mission
CARM Safety Foundation serves to educate and support scientific purposes related to computer-aided risk management (CARM), in order to increase public safety. Imagine how NASA and SpaceX employ sensors and computing to improve safety. The same approach can be used to make places safer where people gather; CARM.
Notes from the nonprofit
In mid-2022, we elected to begin an aggressive program to help guide parents (and teachers) about physical safety in K-12 environment. To date, we have published a simple Checklist. In development are an education video and a related Guidebook which explain about the types of recommendations and items mentioned in Checklist. Learn more: https://carm-if.org/foundation/k-12/

University Challenge — CARM Proof of Concept
CARM Safety Foundation is driving the University Challenge program to inspire and guide students who will demonstrate key aspects of a new physical safety system. CARM stands for computer-aided risk management. Sensors are linked with computing nodes via a network. Early signs of potential threats are detected, and decisions made to take action before tragedy occurs; NASA has been doing this for decades.
Students Can Get Involved in Real-World Project, and may earn university credit:
• Connect safety devices and threat detectors so they inter-operate as a cohesive system
• Program compute nodes to analyze data from sensors and predict threats
• Produce videos of system operation
• Promote the accomplishments of technical teams to the public
This challenge is all about collaboration. The work is real-world and will allow students to demonstrate their value to a larger team.
The resulting demonstration will show the public how technology can make the world safer.
