For her entry into the science fair, Wenger trained a statistical model to predict
signs of breast cancer given nine features from the breast tissue samples as an
input representation.[2][3] She used neural networks to train the develop the
statistical model,[4] which is currently 99.1 percent sensitive to malignancy.[5]
As the first-place winner, she received a $50,000 scholarship.[6]

Wenger spoke about her software at the TEDx Atlanta conference in 2012,[7] and TEDx
CERN conference in 2013.[8] In 2013, representing Out-of-Door Academy, she was a
