Catherine, a Grade 12 girl who loves science, invented a tiny device you connect to a cell phone that shows your heartbeat right on the screen. She entered it in a science fair with other kids from all over the world, and won third place. Using her invention, people can take a test called an Electrocardiogram. Her big idea could end up helping millions of people!
“Growing up with cerebral palsy made me a stronger person and very determined to succeed. Inventing has given me confidence and a way to help myself as well as others.” – Krysta Morlan *
Krysta Morlan’s first invention was a device that relieves the irritation caused by wearing a cast called the cast cooler. The portable cast cooler works by pumping air into a cast through a plastic tube. Krysta Morlan was in grade 10 when she invented the cast cooler.

Hart Main, a 13 year old boy, decided to take an interesting twist on an already existing idea. his sister was selling candles for a fundraiser supporting her school, and he realized he would like to do the same, although he wanted to change the scents. he decided most guys dont want to smell like lavender and fresh laundry.
So Main decided to start producing manlier scents, such as fresh cut grass, bacon, and a new baseball mitt scent! as prices of the candles changed while figuring out new expenses, Main decided to set up a paypal account on his website so that it would be easy for his customers to purchase candles. not only is his business for-profit, but it also has a charity edge to it. the candles are made in soup cans, him and his mother buy the soup, donate it to soup kitchens, and then take back the empty cans!
the candles are made in his kitchen, but Main says that they are looking for a new space that is bigger to make the candles in. while Main’s sales and popularity is growing, he stays humbled by the simple idea of just adding some spice to an old idea!
