BBC World Service - People Fixing The World, Teenage inventor special

Brilliant ideas from school kids to help solve crime, make life safer and much more

We hear about amazing inventions, apps to make life safer and experiments that could help solve crime - all designed by high school students around the world.

In this inspiring episode, we hear ideas from high school students in Asia, Africa, Europe and America. They’ve created a new form of sound insulation, refined a forensic process to use at crime scenes, won an award for predicting crop yields and made going to the beach a little safer in the age of Covid.
