Young inventors
Young people always have a lot of new and exciting ideas.
These are three young people who have already made a big different to the world with their brilliant inventions.
| Adeeb Sulaiman Alblooshi |
From the UAE was only nine years old when he invented an artificial leg that was lighter than the ones in the market. He got the idea when he saw his father struggle with his heavy prosthetic leg. Adeeb has also invented a small cleaning robot for his mum and a seatbelt that checks the heart condition of the driver and sends messages if something is not right. What’s Adeeb’s favorite phrase? ‘Always ask “why?”’

Anurudh Ganesan |
From India was 15 years old when he had a brilliant idea about how to get vaccinations to more babies. Some people live in places that are far away from doctors and you need to keep vaccinations in a fridge. So Ganesan invented a special bicycle with a fridge that didn’t need electricity or ice. It’s the wheels on the bike that keep the vaccinations cool!

Thato Kgatlhanye |
From South Africa had an idea to help children who don’t have electricity at home. She was 18 years old when she made a school bag using recycled plastic shopping bags. This bag stores solar energy for up to 12 hours, which means that children can study when they get home. The bag is also bright. This is important because it means that children are safer when they walk home from school after dark.
