This 12-year-old scientist, inventor, genius, hero, minority female girl invented a lead detector for water that will save millions of lives, and we will never drink lead contaminated water ever again.
invented a smartphone connected lead detector btw won $25,000 for it btw
Pretty cool actually. Do you have any articles on what she used to detect lead on water and how does it compare with current industry standards for detecting it?

downloaded imopara 2 and osadai to my server installed imopara to my laptop probably fap to it later.

Speaking of inventor kids. What ever happened to that black kid who made the briefcase-clock that looked like a bomb?
Julian Sanchez
t. american
She is upper-middle class or upper class.
Both of her parents are engineers.
She claims to have "browsed the MIT research page daily" when it was most likely her parents who found the research articles/papers (they know what to look for).
One or more of these things happened: A. She took Nanotube research from other researchers B. She took products from other companies C. Researchers donated their research to her (minority 12-year-old girl) for the liberal cause D. Company/Companies donated their research to her (minority 12-year-old girl) for the liberal cause C. Claims everything as her own work (i.e., her inventions)
She has a CS mentor who probably wrote all the code.
Someone to make the 3D case to put the Ardunio and Bluetooth module in.
Someone to prepare 'her reports'.
Someone to coach her on presenting 'her research'.
Does that give you an idea for how this 'inventor' scheme works?
Ayden Hughes
made 14000 in crypto
Adrian Jenkins
"Won" 25k? So does she get all the patent rights to her own invention, or is it sold to someone else now? Is that 25k worth just the "I did it" compared to the potential millions she may have just given away? If she just invented a new toxin detection system that beats the current industry standard, 25k is literally nothing.

What the fuck did you just fucking type about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids with Anonymous, and I have over 300 confirmed DDoSes. I am trained in online trolling and I’m the top hacker in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another virus host. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Internet, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with typing that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we chat over IRC I am tracing your IP with my damn bare hands so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your computer. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking fingers. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit code all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Adam Gonzalez
Cool lead detector, want to bring it to the White House?
Levi Ortiz
Not that user but do you have any proofs about these "genius" kids being made or helped considerably by adults? I have read a lot of similar considerations and they sound very plausible but also adults losers being jelly is plausible so I don't know what to think
Gavin Reyes
What have african americans done for those who are allergic to peanut butter?
Brayden Cooper
So instead of investing money into our infrastructure and utilities so that we don't have lead in our water in the first place, we're going to support inventors so that we can eventually need to test every bit of water before we drink it
Genius indeed
Kevin Green
Do those who drink lead contaminated water even have smartphones?

what a qt :3 any feet pics?
James Johnson
You answered your own question, user.
Thomas Powell
You need a $800 iPhone® to use the Bluetooth® Connected™ lead detector (nanotube bio tech TOTALLY NOT developed by 3M Company btw) btw
Jaxson Sullivan
you forgot > screencap this
Liam Barnes
its all about probability, what is more probable
a little 12 year old girl having all the skills and know how to do this
or the normal the parents made the volcano but on a far smarter level?
Luke Robinson
that will surely help all those underprivileged minorities in the third world, instead of making the addon for cheap generic androids for 60 euros and connected with cheap micro usb connectors.
It is better for them to use expensive Iphones
Hunter Lewis
they fucked off to the middle east I believe.

Even if the probability of a kid being genius is low, there are millions of them And there have been cases of actual genius kids in the past
Grayson Fisher
true enough, but this is a girl, who decided that testing for lead was important, who at 12 had all the skills necessary to do this?
I call bullshit on not being heavily helped at best and at worst, told to do it by her parents
If she is a minority, the parents could even be exploiting this fact, in the best case scenario to give her a better life, and in the worse, to get themselves further along.
I hate it, but when you think the worst of people, its usually closer to the truth than thinking the best.
Gavin Williams
this guy gets it
Eli Cox
I mean, even if she received help from his parent, she had to understand what her parents were telling her.
I couldnt stop thinking about N64 when I was 12
Adrian Campbell
>she ends up watching a Alex Jones video by accident >Comes up with an fully functional estrogen on water detector >three days later she disappears without leaving any sign

Brandon Brown
I just masturbated and now I'm smoking some marijuana, probably gonna go watch Blue Planet II now
Matthew Reyes
This is the most dreadful fucking feeling in all of tech. When shit doesn't work, no matter how many fucking times you try. You literally redo the installation guide fucking 10 times, reach out for help, and the retards running the software tell you to do something that doesn't fucking work, etc. I'm beyond fucking pissed, it's been fucking 2 weeks and I can't get this shit to work.
Joshua Williams
this applies to just about every kid "genius" out there
Josiah Garcia

>requires scientific grade CNT array and uses electrical conductivity to test for lead dropped. could be triggered by any number of molecules and wouldn't be sensitive enough to determine if it contains lead under 15ng/mL. currently best bet is using organics or molecular sieves and colorimetry.
Daniel Gray
From what I understand of her proposal and the demonstration video the smartphone isn't required at all. The Arduino it self could display the output just with a colored LED or buzzer or simple display module.
Quit pushing your R*ddit diversity horse shit and fuck off. Nobody wants you here, fag.
Sebastian Gray
Do you guys remember from a few years back the scammer mom that promoted her daughter on kickstarter as some girl power indie game dev. It caught so much attention she was brought out to speak publicly about STEM-women and was given a bunch of free stuff. The mom was outed for trying to sell bullshit on kickstarter before and decided to play the victim card and hopefully not have to own up to producing a good product. After like a year they pumped out so garbage rpg maker.
Aiden Foster
I've jacked off few hours ago. I wish I was smart enough to learn what lead was when I was 12, let alone invent a method to detect lead in water
Nathaniel James
most of these kids science fair competitions are pretty much kids who have parents with lots of money or connections and hook them up with some lab or professor who does all the work for them
Jayden Miller
just use icp-ms

My research papers helped pave the way for cleaner coal power plants by cutting emissions by 80%. I was awarded $200,000 and met the US President at the time and went to numerous NASA events where I had a potential job as an aerospace engineer but then I realised NASA lives off bread crumbs and is cockblocked by bureaucracy and gettting citizenship in the US is difficult unless you're an underprivileged Mexican.
Cooper Lee
I'll be honest when I heard it about it I imagined some mega she-autist with OCD worrying about lead contaminated water in her middle class household, which I actually found totally believable.
Jason Hall
woah that sounds like rocket science, desu.
Jordan Ramirez
try inventing something actually useful like a clock
James Thomas
Child geniuses show an extremely high aptitude for a specific talent they are gifted in, and then they are mentored in that talent over years in order to hone it. They generally aren't out inventing things. Meanwhile parents will do anything to give their children a leg up in the world.
Mason Walker
come on, man.....
Lucas Garcia
The user you're replying to asked how it works not how you think it was made.
What the fuck is reading comprehension.

followed a straight forward guide to hack my new "new 3ds xl" at 3am this morning.
going to masturbate now. have a nice day science loli

yeah i learned that when i tried to join the ((google)) "science" fair, its all pure bullshit

>$25k should have patented it and sold it. instead of competing in a shitty competition so that corporations could buy her million dollar idea for $25k

Exactly. This nobody will be forgotten as quickly as they discovered her, might as well make a quick Buck while shes at it.

How many child prodogies actually go on to live a sucessful life? I mean, i was a mega-genius as a kid and now i'm an average joe who pajeets for a living.

I've invented breaker... For plumbing. Just need a 3D printer to make a prototype.
At least, this is really useful, and it will save millions of dollars and tons of drywalls.

She might be a genius inventor, but if she only made 25k from her invention, then she's shit at marketing.

Made a $40 amazon fire HD 8 into a full blown android tablet with play store and no ads. Took 30 minutes. Will be buying some for co-workers and family.
Jacob Clark
not really, even in the link you gave most of the examples are human calculators
some people just have a very strong natural ability to work with numbers. most of physics is really just applied pure mathematics anyway. they're incredible to behold but it doesn't really have any relation to inventions. if you notice once you get to modern history it's almost exclusively kids with exceptional memory or calculating abilities

Lucas Harris
Stop fucking saying this its nothing to do with r*ddit. You idiotic little cunt its called a paragraph, in the small reply boxes a lot of people have a habit of double spacing to make a new paragraph. Except a paragraph written in the reply box is just a fucking sentence when actually posted on the board.
Neck yourself.

Aaron Ward
Quickly skimmed through, all of those "prodigies" didn't invent shit, they just were faster than their peers in academia, which is something most people could do if their parents were rich enough and put pressure on the institute to let the kid take exams instead of sitting through months of bullshit.
