Sometimes the brightest ideas come in young packages. Teenagers from around the world demonstrate you don’t need a high school diploma to come up with a life-changing invention . From $13 germ-killing door handles to Braille printers, check out these eight teenage inventions that revolutionize the way we view energy , food, and, of course, the oceans .
When assigned with laundry duty after her mother got sick, Remya Jose, a 14-year-old girl from India , designed an ingenious pedal-powered washing machine to save the time of doing laundry by hand in a nearby river. Jose made her clever washing machine with recycled bicycle components, creating an appliance that could greatly assist families who lack access to electricity.
Garden-loving teenagers Ciara Judge, Émer Hickey, and Sophie Healy-Thow of Ireland won the Google Science Fair 2014 with their Combating the Global Food Crisis project. The 16-year-olds paired a bacteria often found in symbiotic relationships with legumes with crops it doesn’t typically associate with, namely oats and barley. Crops that tested their unique pairing were wildly successful, germinating in about half the time and producing a 74 percent greater drymass yield. Increasing crop yields is vital as the global population grows, and discoveries like this one could greatly impact the way we combat food poverty .
For several years now, Inhabitat has been covering the efforts of The Ocean Cleanup CEO Boyan Slat of the Netherlands , who at 19 years old invented an Ocean Cleanup Array , and we’re continually impressed by his persistence. The Ocean Cleanup recently completed their first aerial reconnaissance mission of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch . The results weren’t pretty – 1,000 large plastic pieces spotted in two hours – but there’s still hope to clean up the mess we’ve made. The Ocean Cleanup won the Katerva Award in 2016 , and feasibility studies indicate one 63-mile array could “remove 42 percent of the Great Pacific garbage patch in only 10 years.”
12-year-old Shubham Banerjee of California utilized a Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit and about $5 of hardware from Home Depot to design an innovative Braille printer , the Braigo v1.0, that cost way less than similar devices. Around 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide, according to World Health Organization data, but as Braille printers cost over $2,000 when Banerjee invented his device, his disruptive technology held the potential to change how the blind communicate. He went on to start a company, Braigo Labs , and about three years later, has released an app and web platform and continues to develop his groundbreaking printer (and he’s still in high school.)
Millions of people around the world live without electricity or clean water , and 17-year-old Cynthia Sin Nga Lam of Australia decided to tackle both issues at once with her portable H2Pro device. The H2Pro unit harnesses photocatalysis, or using light to speed up a chemical reaction, to sterilize water. As a side bonus, the process also yields hydrogen , which Lam said could be used to produce electricity.
When Kenya ‘s Maseno School opened up new dormitories for over 700 students in 2013, the area around the students’ home often smelled because of pit latrines and a defective sewage system, which also polluted local freshwater. High schooler Leroy Mwasaru and four friends came up with a solution: a human waste bioreactor that could transform waste into a clean cooking fuel for the kitchen, which had been using firewood. Today, Mwasaru is the founder of Greenpact , a group aiming to provide biogas solutions to over six million Kenyans who lack access to adequate sanitation and renewable energy .
17-year-old Sun Ming (Simon) Wong and 18-year-old King Pong (Michael) Li of Hong Kong knew bacteria spreads via handles on doors or shopping carts touched by hundreds of people daily. So they hunted for a material that could kill that bacteria and found an answer in titanium oxide. Instead of simply coating a handle in titanium oxide, though, they added an LED light into a bracket holding the handle to truly activate the compound, which can then annihilate 99.8 percent of germs . Even better, the device only costs around $13, meaning it could be accessible for more people worldwide.
Sunscreen and pencils might not be the first two items you’d go to for answers to clean up pollution , but 16-year-old Samuel Burrow of England utilized two ingredients found in those common items to create a “paint-like coating” that has the power to break down pollutants with the help of light. He mixed titanium dioxide with graphene oxide for a concoction with not one, but several applications, in addition to a surface paint. As a sponge, Burrow’s mixture can purify water, and when combined with sand, it has the potential to filter heavy metals out of water. Just imagine how clean the world could be if all buildings were painted with Burrow’s marvelous mix.

It's true that most teens are only worried about taking selfies, messaging or playing games, but not these. Meet ten dedicated youths who are spending their time and energy to create new things to make a better world for everyone.
An 11-year-old Nashville student has invented a simple device that could save lives.
After learning approximately 38 children die each year from being left in hot cars, young Andrew Pelham felt compelled to do something. He entered The Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors, which is held each year in Akron, Ohio. (The city is also known as the rubber capital of the United States.)
There is only one rule for contestants – they must use rubber bands in their invention. With that in mind, Andrew created the E-Z Baby Saver and won second place, taking home US$500.
Andrew thought his amazing invention might be a cheap way to help parents remember when they have a child in the back seat. The E-Z Baby Saver is a simple device made of duct tape and rubber bands. The device renders parents unable to walk away from the car when a child is still inside. It is a strap that stretches from the back seat to the front and attaches to the driver's side door.
Andrew used his prize money to buy a laptop and create his website.
When she was 8 years old, Kylie Simonds of Naugatuck, Connecticut was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the connective tissues. She is now in remission and recovering from the ordeal.
Throughout her illness, one of the obstacles she endured were I-V pole wires that would cause her to constantly trip. She also needed to help pushing the pole around because it was too heavy for her.
Kylie invented a pediatric IV backpack – a wearable, portable IV machine for kids receiving chemotherapy or transfusions. The bag even comes in colorful designs. She calls it the I-Pack.
Kylie's design won a prize at the Connecticut Invention Convention in August 2014. She has secured a patent and is trying to raise money to put the backpack into production.
In 2012, a thirteen-year-old girl launched a potentially lucrative business built around her unusual cure for hiccups. Kievman's idea for a cure came after she was afflicted with a stubborn case of the hiccups two years before and decided to test a number of folk remedies, from sipping water out of an upside-down cup to drinking salt water.
Eventually, after curing her hiccups, the future doctor combined her three favorite remedies to form her own (patent pending) cure for the annoying ailment.
Her three part cure is composed of sugar, apple cider vinegar, and lollipops. While she claims she is still in the process of “tweaking the taste,” her invention has already received a considerable amount of attention and has resulted in her enlistment of M.B.A. students, who will assist with launching her start-up.
A New York teenager whose grandfather suffers from Alzheimer's disease won a $50,000 science prize for developing wearable sensors that send mobile alerts when a dementia patient begins to wander away from bed.
Kenneth Shinozuka, 15, who took home the Scientific American Science in Action Award, said his invention was inspired by his grandfather's symptoms, which frequently caused him to wander from bed in the middle of the night and hurt himself.
His invention uses coin-sized wireless sensors that are worn on the feet of a potential wanderer. The sensors detect pressure caused when the person stands up, triggering an audible alert on a caregiver's smartphone using an app.
The award honors a project that aims to make a practical difference by addressing an environmental, health or resources challenge, said Scientific American Editor in Chief Mariette DiChristina.
Over 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers are diagnosed late, when someone has less than two percent chance of survival.
So when news broke in 2011 that a test had been developed that might detect early pancreatic cancer, the research world not only took notice, it went into shock – for the test hadn't been developed by some renowned cancer research institute, but by a boy wonder, a 15-year-old high school freshman named Jack Andraka.
Jack convinced an eminent cancer researcher to let him use his lab to develop his theory, all before he even had a license to drive. While the test must undergo years of clinical trials, the biotech industry has already beaten a path to Jack's door.
Jack beat out 1,500 contestants to win won the grand prize at the Intel International Science Fair with his invention. The self-described science geek received $100,000 in prize money.
Native Chicagoan Anthony Halmon is only a freshman at Cornell University, but he's already made a name for himself. In 2013, the young father came up with the idea to create a pacifier that doubles as a thermometer. It's called the Thermofier. His creation is described as an improvement on existing models already on store shelves.
The idea came from his concern for his young daughter and not always being able to easily discern when the baby wasn't feeling well. His invention earned him a visit to the White House and a meeting with President Obama.
Halmon, who is interested in studying sociology and government, is from Chicago's Englewood area. He described it as a “tough, rough” place with “a lot of violence and gangs.” Growing up, he said, he was accosted regularly by various gang members due to the reputation of one of his relatives. The year that his father died (his sophomore year in high school) was also the year he learned he was to be a father. The teen made it his goal to better his life for the sake of his daughter, who is now 3 years old.
Waiting hours for a cell phone to charge may become a thing of the past, thanks to an 18-year-old high-school student's invention. In 2013, Eesha Khare won a $50,000 prize at an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds. The fast-charging device is a so-called supercapacitor, a gizmo that can pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its charge for a long time.
What's more, it can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries, according to the young inventor, who hails from Saratoga, CA.
To date, Eesha has used the supercapacitor to power a light-emitting diode, or LED. The invention's future is even brighter. She sees it fitting inside cellphones and the other portable electronic devices that are proliferating in today's world, freeing people and their gadgets for a longer time from reliance on electrical outlets.
Khare's invention won her the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, conducted in Phoenix, Ariz.
Who knew a teenager just learning how to drive could come up with a device to reduce pollution coming from his car?
A student has won an award from the Environmental Protection Agency for his environmentally friendly invention which cleans car exhaust that would normally pollute the air. Param Jaggi, a 17-year-old senior at Plano East High School, came up with the idea after seeing how much carbon dioxide was released from a car.
Param designed a device called the “Algae Mobile,” which is inserted into the exhaust pipe on the back side of a car. Through photosynthesis, algae inside the gas-permeable, aluminum alloy tube converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and releases it into the air for humans to
