Top Tech Voices Podcast S2 E2: Sustainable Tech & Innovations for a Greener Planet

JoRatcliffe
JoRatcliffe 6 months ago

Episode Two of Top Tech Voices is here and this episode sees podcast host Georgia Lewis Anderson being joined by Irish inventor Fionn Ferreira.

Fionn has established himself as a leading inventor in environmental science after created a magnet-based method for extracting microplastics from water, and winning the Global Grand Prize at the Google Science Fair in 2019 at just 18 years old.

Settle in for a discussion covering:

  • How Fionn’s parents got him creating and experimenting at an early age
  • How he succeeds by adding an element of childlike playfulness and creativity into the way he works
  • The importance of finding people around you who can do the things you can’t
  • How to stay upbeat in the face of negative news on the climate and environment

    It’s incredible to hear how Fionn’s journey started with a Raspberry Pi and Lego to solve a global crisis. It’s a perfect reminder to the element14 community that 'childlike play' [29:23] isn't just for kids—it’s the foundation of the world's most important inventions. We don't need a multi-million dollar lab to start; we just need a problem that annoys us and the tools in front of us.     

    I always call my self a kid even if I am 15 and have no pressure of anyone to do any work. My mind crafts everything on its ownSunglassesSunglassesSmirk

    Yeah it's fair to call 15 a kid.  Wear it like a badge of honor.

    Yea , I don't fell for those videos that says to work hard, leave your comfort zone when you are young....

    I am enjoying life while focusing on my career without leaving my comfort zone, I study on my own and not on someone's pressure

    Life is good at this side.
