Can two high school students use machine learning to predict wildfires?

Aditya Shah and Sanjana Shah, two friends and high school students from Cupertino, California, wanted to figure out a way to use technology to help prevent wildfires from destroying the forests they grew up with and loved so much. Using TensorFlow, Google’s open-source machine learning tool, they built a Smart Wildfire Sensor, which can help predict where wildfires are most likely to occur in a given area so firefighters are better prepared to stop them.
