Innovation International organization was created to mentor K-12 students worldwide on STEM and environment protection solutions. This session provides details on some of the projects focused by the organization and how to participate in any of them.

A multinational team will embark together on an aventure of a lifetime. They are defining a STEM experiment that will be executed on the RB-10 NASA scientific balloon flight in August of this year. See the details on this presentation.

A disaster alarm system was designed to detect and alert of an incoming wildfire or earthquake providing alarm capabilities to the end users who can be alerted in time to execute an escape plan and save lives.

Traditional air conditioners use a liquid refrigerant that, when they escape into the atmosphere, it can cause greenhouse effect that is thousand of times more potent than carbon dioxide. The technology to be presented here uses elastocaloric capabilities to enable a solid-state air conditioner that does not require refrigerant.

The project “Art, science and technology: the environmental impact of waste on marine biodiversity” addresses the damage caused to marine fauna and flora, due to garbage discarded irregularly on the coast of ES-Brazil, where students raise awareness through paintings on canvas, robotic sculptures and educational games.

 See the concepts of an autonomous garbage collector system for use in the city environment and additional environment protection projects created by Julia from Vitoria City in Brazil.

This session will focus on the creation of a natural carbon sequestration engine based on phytoplankton and salp. They work together to implement a very efficient carbon sequestration engine which can help lower the dangers we face today with global warming.

Vanusa is an orphan from Ponta Grossa City in Brazil who had to work on the streets to be able to get resources to study. Last year, she was able to get in forst place in one of the best Universities of her region. Nicole wrote a book about her life and she is tranfrering all proceeds from the sale of this book to Vanusa so she can make her dreams of graduating a reality.

The food production methods today use too much resources and can affect the environment through chemical product runoffs. It is very important that we all start migrating to a modern method of producing food which is sustainable and can provide not only vegetables but also proteins and seefood.

This project was done in conjunction with the students with special needs from the Tagaytay City Special Education Center in the Philippines.
