“Each year Google hold an international science fair for innovative teens to solve a problem they care about with science.”
“According to facts and figures from non-profit organization The Water Project, there are 783 million people worldwide–that’s about one in nine individuals globally–that do not have access to clean drinking water, and one out of every five deaths of children under five years old is directly caused by a water-related disease.”
“This is where 17-year-old Australian high school student Cynthia Sin Nga Lam comes into the picture. Lam was one of just 15 finalists in the worldwide Google Science Fair competition in her year thanks to her innovative device that would be able to solve the problem of electricity production and clean water access in one fell swoop. Her incredible prototype, cleverly called H2Pro, is capable of purifying wastewater while simultaneously using the removed pollutants to produce power. Even better? The entire process is powered by sunlight alone.”
