Pupil who invented device to help homeless named ‘girl of the year’

A Glasgow School student was chosen because Time Magazine has invented a device between the daughters of the year to help the homeless warming up.

12 -year -old Rebecca Young designed a solar blanket in which an engineering company Thales became a reality.

The BBC said that Scotland News was shocked and honored by the recognition of the LEGO mini figure because of the joint execution of the awards. Danish toy manufacturer.

Rebecca first attended an engineering club at school.

“It has made me want to see, to see all homeless people – this is a problem that needs to be corrected.

“Throughout the day, the heat from the sun can energize solar panels and enter a battery package that can store heat. When it is cold at night, people can use the energy stored in the battery package to sleep.

“At Glasgow It may be freezing at night And them [homeless people] I thought it wouldn’t have the power, so I thought the solar panel could heat it. ”

Rebecca’s idea, more than 70,000 students entered the top of the British Primary Engineer competition, where ideas to deal with a social problem.

As part of the honor, they are on the digital cover of the rebecca and nine other winning famous magazines, where they are shaped as LEGO mini figures-12-year-old child is “really cool and crazy”.

In addition, science, technology, engineering and mathematics abbreviation STEM issues who wanted to participate in other girls had recommendations.

Rebecca said: “If you have an idea like me, then join the clubs and talk to people about it, this will help.”

“All my friends think it’s great.”

Homeless Project Founder of Scotland Colin McINES, the initiative is already successful, he said.
