Be your own light

Ann Makosinski is a young Canadian inventor who in 6th grade learned that a friend in the Philippines was struggling in school because she didn’t have electricity to study at night.

Ann went on to invent a flashlight powered entirely by the body heat of your hand. Her dream - mass production leading to low cost flashlights that could bring self-powered illumination to the undeveloped world.
