LOCAL RESIDENT CREATES APP TO STOP CYBERBULLYING Trisha Prabhu of Naperville Creates ReThink Words, an App to Stop Cyberbullying 
 
 Welcome to the Shark Tank! Many of us watch the ABC hit show while dreaming of our own inventions that will make us millions after partnering with one of the five titans of the industry. 16 year old, Neuqua Valley Student and Naperville resident, Trisha Prabhu realized that dream after she pitched her anti-bullying app ReThink on the Season 8 Premiere. 
 
 ReThink is the first ever proactive solution to stop cyberbullying before it happens. When an adolescent tries to post a hurtful message, ReThink detects that the message is hurtful and sends a gentle alert in real time, providing adolescents a second chance to pause, review and rethink before sending hurtful messages. 
 
 Trisha discovered coding at age 10 and fell in love with it.  She currently teaches Girls Who Code classes at the Naperville Public Library; as well as, summer coding programs for girls at North Central College.  She is the founder and president of the anti-bullying club, Guardians of the Valley, at Neuqua; and is also a National board member of Tyler Clementi Foundation, NYC to advocate equality and LGBT rights. 
 
 She describes her Shark Tank experience as a nerve wracking; yet, exhilarating experience.  “They were very candid and gave me great ideas, provided constructive criticisms and were all ears about what I had to say,” Trisha said as she reeled in a joint offer between Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner for a stake in her company!  www.ReThinkWords.com  -Kristen Kucharski #GlancerMagazine #CaringSharing #KristenKucharski #January2017 #GlancerWeekly #LocalWomen #EducationNews #TechTime #Naperville
