America\u2019s Top Young Scientist of the Year is so coveted a title that middle school students across the United States compete in Discovery Education\u2019s 3M Young Scientist Challenge every year. Among thousands of promising innovators and inventors with a problem-solving attitude, only the best ten make it to the grand finale of the most prestigious competition. 3M Young Scientist Challenge inspires young minds to think solutions for global issues from water crisis to energy shortage to climate change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ten finalists for America\u2019s \u201cTop Young Scientist of 2019\u201d title include five Indian American teen students:<\/strong> Reshma Kosaraju of California, Jaya Choudhary of Michigan, Nishant Lahiri of New York, Camellia Sharma of Virginia, and Samyak Shrimali of Oregon. Unsurprisingly, there was the same number of Indian Americans among the finalists in 3M Young Scientist Challenge 2018<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"3M<\/p>\n

Jaya Choudhary of Michigan: Energy Saving\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Among the finalists in 3M Young Scientist Challenge 2019 is 13 year-old Jaya Choudhary from Canton, Michigan<\/span><\/a>. Jaya made it to the race for America\u2019s \u201cTop Young Scientist of 2019\u201d title for her eco-friendly invention – Airflow Control Robot<\/strong> – which helps reduce power consumption and save on energy by controlling the flow of hot or cold air to unoccupied areas. Indian American Jaya Choudhury\u2019s Airflow Control Robot is an effort towards lessening the impact of global climate change and energy crisis on the planet. She is a 7th<\/sup> grader at Canton Charter Academy.<\/p>\n

Reshma Kosaraju of California: Wildfire Prediction\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The California Camp fire in 2018, which claimed 90 lives and caused massive damages worth $17B to the wildlife of USA, prompted 13-year-old Reshma Kosaraju to develop an Artificial Intelligence-based predictive model that uses meteorological data and the existing fire index data to predict any possible incidence of forest fire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A resident of San Jose<\/span><\/a>, California, 7th<\/sup> grader Reshma Kosaraju is among the 10 finalists of Discovery Education Network\u2019s 3M Young Scientist Challenge 2019<\/strong>. Her wildfire predictive and preventive model is a boon to the United States that suffers an estimated economic loss of up to $350B due to the environmental damage caused by destructive forest fires.<\/p>\n

Nishant Lahiri of New York: Carbon Dioxide Recycling\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A resident of Corning, New York<\/span><\/a>, 14-year-old Nishant Lahiri developed iCART, an innovative, cost-effective solution to recycling carbon dioxide from the air.<\/strong> He believes that recycling carbon dioxide is a community effort towards addressing global warming. Indian American Nishant Lahiri\u2019s iCART is an energy-efficient carbon capture solution that does not use electricity to absorb C02 from the ambient atmosphere of our homes and transmit it to a processing facility where carbon dioxide is recycled. So, no wonder why he is one of the 3M Young Scientist Challenge 2019 finalists.<\/p>\n

Camellia Sharma of Virginia: Water Crisis Reduction\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

12-year-old Camellia Sharma from Glen Allen, Virginia<\/span><\/a> has developed underground water leakage system to help nations save water, at the current juncture of water crisis in some parts of the world, including India.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Owing to inadequate repairing of the aging water distribution systems underground, 50 billion cubic meters of water is wasted every year.<\/strong> The USA alone loses 8 billion cubic meters of water through leaky pipes. Water scarcity is a catastrophic problem in developing countries due to the eroding structural and hydraulic integrity of underground pipelines. Evidently, Indian American Camellia Sharma\u2019s invention deserves to be among the finalists of Discovery Education\u2019s \u201cTop Young Scientist of 2019\u201d challenge.<\/p>\n

Samyak Shrimali of Oregon: Hand Hygiene Tracking\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the five Indian American finalists in 3M Young Scientist Challenge 2019, Samyak Shrimali from Portland<\/span><\/a>, Oregon has created a sensor-based hygiene tracking system.<\/strong> The 14-year-old eighth grader\u2019s innovation helps check whether one complies with the hand hygiene requirement in hospitals and other public places where nosocomial infections, if unchecked, heighten the mortality rate. His invention underlines the importance of tracking hand hygiene compliance during an epidemic.<\/p>\n

\"cheap<\/a><\/p>\n

The 3M Young Scientist Challenge 2019 finalists will travel to St. Paul, Minnesota for an internship program<\/strong>, during which they will actualize their inventions or innovations into working solutions before the grand finale in October 2019. They will demonstrate the usefulness of their unique solutions in our everyday life to a panel of scientists, alongside competing in a series of scientific challenges. The winner of America\u2019s \u201cTop Young Scientist of 2019\u201d title will receive a scholarship worth USD 25,000 and a free trip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
