A message from our founder, Nicole Haragutchi:
We are researching on more sustainable way to get nuclear energy such as the use of thorium and helium-3 a fuel.
We are developing ways to create biodegradable plastics to replace the large quantities of plastics being used today which is causing worldwide pollution.
We are distributing a kit with recharcheable LED lamps with solar panels to provide better study environment to students living in underprivileged areas and, at the same time, provide them knowlege on green energy which will be important for their future.
We are developing a water quality monitor that will be used to protect manatees in Florida, the freshwater mussels in Indiana, the freshwater sardines in the Philippines (some of these species in the list of undangerad species) and it will be used to monitor water quality for the lake used by a Ghana community for drinking.
The Disaster Alarm System was designed to alert the homeowners of an impending disaster in time for them to execute an escape plan and save lives. The current version focus on wildfire and earthquake.

We are developing a sustainable food production for the colonization of Mars. It focus on modern food production integrated with green technology for plants and precision fermentation for proteins.
Our team has been approved to fly our STEM experiment on the NASA flight RB-11 that is going to outer space this coming August.

You have your invention. What do we do next?
Joint me in my adventure going through the United States Patent and Trademark Office to get my patent issued.

Imagine having the power to become microscopic and travel through the human body in search of cancerous cells, harmful viruses or antibiotic resistant bacteria. This is the research I am conducting which integrates quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
Imagine the future of agriculture where everyone can produce their own food through an integration of modern food production methods integrated with green technologies such as water collection from thin air and solar power generation. This is the research I am conducting with prototype creation in different locations.
The Antarctic krill is in danger due to increase of fishing. It was already facing challenges such as ocean water acidification and ice surface lost doe tu climate change. If we lose the Antarctic krill, we are loosing the entire Antarctic biodiversity. My research focus on finding ways to prevent the Antarctic krill extinction.
The wildfires in Maui surprised the population because the sirens were not activated because they were designed for tsunamis and they would make the population go in the direction of the fires. My research is in the area of wildfire alarm system, a low cost and long range implementation that would work even when there is no communication service providers.
I worked with the Tagaytay City Special Education Center to develop a recipe for a sustainable Filipino pancit, a national dish in the Philippines.

There are about 30,000 species today in danger of going extinct and we need to do something together to prevent this from happening. Join me in this Call to Action to raise awareness of the danger of extinction for all these species.
2024-2025 Awards
