Kids are changing the way we think about the environment and our energy use. They are technology savvy, globally aware, entrepreneur spirited, and problem solving, startup ready to change the way the economy works as we know it. Why not help them blend smart design and good old-fashioned play time.

The younger generation is embracing more renewable energy alternatives and sustainable transportation.  Many extraordinary teenagers have invented sustainable technologies; from making bioplastic out of banana peels, to an ocean cleanup array. The “hollow flashlight” was invented by a 15-year-old girl that transforms the heat from your hand into a source of energy.

Young inspired thinkers have made their way to the Tedx talks as an 11-year-old plans to be an organic farmer and talks about the problems of our food system. More and more people are motivated to know where their food comes from.
