Blaise Pascal
布萊士·帕斯卡
Child prodigy, Blaise Pascal was only 12 years old when he developed the first ever calculator for his father who was a tax collector. It was named the "pascaline" and was initially the size of a shoebox and function using a series of toothed wheels turned by hand. For the record, Blaise also invented probability theory, the syringe and even roulette.
由于父親是一名稅務工作者,12歲的天才少年布萊士·帕斯卡為父親發明計算器。并命名為“帕斯卡利娜”,它的尺寸只有鞋盒大小,通過手推齒輪進行計算。此外,帕斯卡還發明了概率論,注射器甚至輪盤賭。
Malala Yousafzai
馬拉拉·優素福·扎伊
Known for her activism and involvement with rights to education and rights for women specifically in Swat Valley in Pakistan. Malala was going up against the Taliban enforcing their rule of banning girls from going to school.

Ann Makosinki
安·馬克斯尼克
British Columbia's Ann Makosinki is a young inventor who was able to invent a flashlight that runs purely on the heat of the human hand alone. She used peltier tiles for the thermoelectric component. When one side is heated and the other side feels cool albeit air. Electricity is conducted and the flashlight was able to function perfectly without batteries.
來自卑詩省安·馬克斯尼克發明熱電效應手電筒,該手電筒僅通過手掌熱量就可發電。所用材料為“帕爾帖電熱片”。當一側加熱時,另一側通過空氣自然冷卻。電流隨即產生,這款手電筒無需電池即可發光。
Boyan Slat
博揚·史萊特
At only 19 years ago age, Slat of the Netherlands came up with the Ocean Cleanup Array, processing platforms that collects floating plastic debris in our oceans. It's designed to only collect the rubbish but avoid marine life like fish and plankton that will simply pass through and unharmed. His idea gained worldwide recognition due to his theory that his invention can clean up twenty billion tons of plastic from the world's oceans in only 5 to 10 years.
年僅19歲的荷蘭青年史萊特發明海洋吸塵器,這是一種集中浮游塑料的處理平臺。它只會收集塑料,像魚類、浮游生物等海洋生物可從下方通過,并不會受到傷害。用他的理論講,在短短5-10年里,垃圾清掃量將達200億噸。
