Hannah Herbst speaks at the Arizona State University Walton Sustainability Solutions Festival.
澳门六合彩历史记录 High School junior Hannah Herbst has been named to the 2018 Forbes 鈥30 Under 30鈥 list in the energy sector. Herbst, 17, invented an ocean energy prototype that earned her the title of 鈥淎merica鈥檚 Top Young Scientist鈥 in the 2015 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
鈥淚t鈥檚 such a huge honor to be on this list,鈥 said Herbst. 鈥淚t鈥檚 something I鈥檝e wanted to be a part of for so long.鈥
According to Forbes, the 鈥30 Under 30鈥 list in energy recognizes 鈥渢he most promising individuals working across the broad field of anything tangentially energy-related.鈥
Herbst鈥檚 device, called BEACON, aims to provide a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from any moving body of water. The goal is to use the device to power water purification systems and much-needed medical equipment.
Since winning the title of 鈥淎merica鈥檚 Top Young Scientist鈥 in 2015, Herbst has presented at the White House Science Fair, discussed the topics of education and clean energy at the United Nations, and traveled across the country engaging with aspiring young scientists.
鈥淥ne of my favorite things is helping children with their science projects,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 love being in the classroom and coming up with ideas and designs with them.鈥
Herbst is currently dual-enrolled at 澳门六合彩历史记录 High School and 澳门六合彩历史记录, where she is pursuing a bachelor鈥檚 degree in computer engineering. She continues to work on BEACON and is about to start a new research project involving shark skin and how it can be used for other applications in medicine.
鈥淪ince my first robotics class in seventh grade at A.D. Henderson, I have been hooked on science,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t was never on my radar until I got to 澳门六合彩历史记录, and it has quickly become my passion.鈥
