Unit 4: Stem Women Rock! (2nde)

Time’s First-Ever Kid of the Year

The document under study is a video from Time magazine that deals with Gitanjali Rao, a 15-year-old scientist. She was elected First-ever Kid Time of the Year in 2020 because she invented a device that can detect the presence of lead in water.

We have learned that she lives in Colorado. Moreover, she shares about her hobbies: she likes to fence,  calligraphy, to bike and to bake. On top of that, she travels a lot with her family. She obviously like science and she really likes animals and especially dinosaurs.

In 2018, she invented a device called Tethys to detect lead in drinking water faster than any other existing devices on the market. Then, it provides all the results on your mobile phone on an app she created. According to her, everyone should have the right to have access to clean drinking water.

(We will continue the study of the video next time. Be ready!)

Homework: Learn the lesson.
