Stuyvesant students brought us #GenerationBitcoin.
Now, teens from their robotics team won the Earth Prize, a global environmental competition for teenagers, taking home $12,500.
The project came to life when Zhi Han (Anthony) Yao, Flint Mueller, and James Clare, all students from NYCβs Stuyvesant High School, received a shipment of robotic motors. Unfortunately, the motors arrived damaged, with delicate brass pins bent and unusable. This firsthand experience sparked the teensβ motivation to rethink how products are protected during shipping.
Rather than accept packaging failures as part of life, the trio got to work. Inspired by kirigami β the #Japanese art of cutting and folding paper β they designed Kiriboard: a lattice-cut cardboard sheet that can flexibly mold around an object, cushioning it securely inside a box.
