These kids are brilliant.   My favorite project of the three featured here was the first one.   It appears to be mostly 3D printed so cost is relatively low and with most of the calculation coming from a smartphone app, its something that could be used almost anywhere.  I love it.   And these kids make me feel stupid.

First, I predicted the correct winner, (of course a one 1 in 3 chance), but I predicted she would win based on the applications of pure mathematics and physics, but also her "invention" addressed where most of the world seems focused: the discovery of more planets that we can't reach.

Second, I gave major props to the first kid because he used knowledge of multiple, disparate disciplines to create his device. The only flaw that I saw was his invention apparently does not address astigmatism. 

Regardless, they were VERY impressive teenagers. Applied science has always impressed me more than theoretical science.

I subscribe to the channel and I know what interests the host.   So when he said he picked the winner, I knew it was going to be the second girl.  But her math was incredible.   I love that one of her major influences/heroes called her work doctorate level work.
