Victoria student finalist in Google science fair

She built a battery-free flashlight!!!


A 15-year-old Victoria student is a finalist in Google's global science fair for building a battery-free flashlight powered by the heat of her hands.

Ann Makosinski will be flying to Mountain View, Calif., to present her science project, competing with 14 others for the top prize.

Makosinski said her project came from an interest in harvesting humans' untapped thermal energy.

The winner will be announced Sept. 23 and receive a 10-day trip to the Galápagos Islands with National Geographic Expeditions, a $50,000 scholarship, and other prizes.
