You may be wondering: What is a Medusa dress, exactly? For Christina, it means incorporating robotic snakes into a dress. Doing so was no small feat — there was a lot of trial and error. But the result made every difficult moment worth it! Not only do the “snakes” on her dress move, but they’re also able to track eye movement, allowing them to stare directly at those who pass by… see for yourself in the video below!

According to a comment Christina made on her video, she was hoping to incorporate even more snakes into the skirt of the dress. This wasn’t possible, unfortunately, due to the weight of the snakes. That said, there is absolutely nothing disappointing about this dress! The eerie movement of the snakes makes this outfit both impressive and spooky. We love it!

With fun projects like this one, Christina hopes to reach other women and young girls who may be interested in the world of STEM. In fact, she even has a whole organization dedicated to this very goal called She Builds Robots. How cool is that?

“This is what I mean when I say representation matters. Kid me is DELIGHTED AND FASCINATED,” someone shares in the comment section, with another adding, “From a young woman in [computer science], thank you for showing that STEM fields can be creative, this is incredible.”
