Using a $20 microscope, Lego, and various household items, teen Emily Tianshi transformed her garage into a science lab to study water conservation amid California’s historic drought. She found a subject in her own backyard: San Diego, California’s iconic Torrey Pine. Her research uncovers how the tree survives in times of water scarcity, from which she developed a patent-pending prototype to harvest atmospheric moisture. Not only is she fighting climate change locally, she’s educating and inspiring other young people as the founder of Clearwater Innovation, an environmental advocacy program that encourages student innovation.
GENERATION IMPACT: THE SCIENTIST is directed by award-winning filmmaker Stephanie Wang-Breal and produced by Culture House.
