However, the population at large isn&#8217;t trained in sign language, making life even more difficult. That is, until these two students from the University of Washington came along. &#160; Sophomores Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor won the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for creating [&#8230;]]]></description>
