With a passion for building software that unites friends, near or far, he's now addressing the tech divide in Wichita, Kansas. The $500 will allow him to purchase 10 more Arduino radios to expand FlyoverMesh.org, a volunteer-driven solar mesh network that off-grid Kansans use to send text messages. By enhancing this infrastructure, Kenton is ensuring that communication remains accessible, reliable, and resilient, especially in areas where technology can't always reach. In a world increasingly connected yet often isolated, Kenton’s project keeps community bonds strong and empowered.
