Hi guys, Hope you are doing well. I am ashamed that I didn't knew anything about this genius girl until recently before few days I came across her work. Gitanjali Rao was born on 19th November, 2005. She is an Indian American Inventor, Author and Scientist. She is a STEM promoter. She lives in Denver, Colorado. She won the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017. Her name is recognised in Forbes under 30 for innovation. She has made a device that can detect contaminated water using carbon nanotubes, battery and Bluetooth. Her device name is Tethys which contains a box in which there is mobile, battery, carbon nanotubes and is connected via bluetooth. The carbon nano tubes are inserted in water and the carbon nanotubes detects the lead content in water and thus transmits information to Mobile via bluetooth. It has 9 vault battery inserted in it. She also made an app called "Kindly" which gives signal using artificial intelligence to users in the initial stage of cyberbullying. She also has interest in music as is a pianist. She is also on the verge of receiving her pilot's license. I was amazed to receive all this information about her and the work she has done at such a young age. She was awarded by Time Magazine and is on its magazine cover as "Kid of the Year 2020". She is truely inspiring.
