There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

FireHUD, a device that helps firefighters track their vital signs while fighting fires, won the 2016 InVenture Prize at Georgia Tech. The inventors – Zachary Braun, a computer engineering major, and Tyler Sisk, an electrical engineering major – will now represent Georgia Tech at the inaugural ACC InVenture Prize. The students are pictured with a firefighter who has used the device.
