12-YEAR-OLD GIRL INVENTS LEAD DETECTOR IN RESPONSE TO FLINT WATER CRISIS

[Anonymous No.9394952]

>Americans are calling a 12-year-old Colorado girl 'genius' and 'a hero' for 'inventing' a 'lead detection smart app' that will 'save millions of people from ever ingesting lead ever again'
>She has already won $25,000 for her invention

THE STATE OF AMERICAN EDUCATION. You JUST can't make this stuff up.

a smart app? So something on a phone? Does it tell you to go buy cheapo test strips or is it doing something novel with the camera?

She connected a lead detector to a smartphone, and made a pretty app.

Now American news is calling her a genius, a hero, an inventor, and a scientist.

She will probably get a full ride and free stuff like Clock Boy...

>With Gitanjali's device, instead of taking days to send water samples to a lab, her device detects lead in seconds using carbon molecules
How's it work? Is it novel? I assume it can detect lead in water by testing how much electricity the water conducts?

Do they not have these already? Can't find any on amazon or anywhere actually.

I guess it's cool if she made a mobile app to go along with it though.

She is more of a spokesperson than an inventor. All of the tech is from 3M. 3M invented it and gave it to her and she presents it and gets patted on the back.

Congrats to the people at 3M and her teachers for making her look good.

actually the $500 phone would be cheaper in the sense that you don't have to buy a $1 LED screen. it's great to be able to use my smartphone for everything. instead of buying a wireless mouse/keyboard combo I download an app which allows phone to act as one at no extra charge.

It uses a 3M nanotube sensor and measures the change in voltage that occurs when lead particles are inside the nanotube.

I bet the most she did was 3D print the case.
3M provided the tech and her CS teacher did the coding.

A TDS meter cannot accurately detect the amount of lead in a water sample.

Basically what >>9395030 said, however I can't find if it's proprietary to 3M Company.

using t. is not an argument friend. everyone has a smartphone, there's no reason not to use them for as much as possible to maximize their value.

in this specific situation I don't see much of a point but the person I was replying to implied a $500 cost of this device. it just utilizes the fact that everyone and their mother has an iphone/android at this point.

[Anonymous No.9395074]

>>9394952
It is probably a neat little invention that's able to detect lead with inaccuracy, what you're reading on shitty media conglomerate websites is just sensationalism to get more ad revenue. Not really anything special and won't save millions of lives but if they want to throw $25,000 at a person for that then it's pretty stupid. Might not even be her invention anyway as they point out >>9395011 >>9395030

Dude, a kid did something nice. Just be happy. Obviously this was inspired because of the young american scientist prize and she won fair and square. The only thing I find distasteful is the fact that she claims she did it for the flint water crisis. I first I believed this was true because I thought she lived there, but then I read she is some middle class retard who has never suffered in her life so sure buddy, I am sure that while watching your Saturday morning cartoons you were feeling real sad
:(((((. That said, I don't blame her because of what I will explain next:

>>9395030
>her CS teacher did the coding.
This motherfucker is a fucking genius. Let me green text this shit:

>Fell for the CS meme
>Now a shitty high school programming professor
>Spend my days ripping off code I find on stackexchange
>find lead detector tutorial online
>follow the steps just for fun and build it
>have great idea
>I'll give the invention to a girl
>NO WAIT
>A BROWN GIRL!
>MEDIA WILL GO FUCKING BALLISTIC. I WILL BE FAMOUS!
>A brown girl invents "X" Oh fuck it sounds so beautiful
>Oh and here's the cherry on top, I'LL SAY WE DID IT FOR THE FLINT WATER CRISIS
>HOLY SHIT IF MY PENIS WAS A RETARDED LIBERAL IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY EJECULATED

So obviously this was all a plot by the adults in her life. She was just the randomly selected brown girl. And heck, If I was her I would just go with it. 25 thousand dollars just to appear on camera being a brown girl pretending to build something? Sign me the fuck on.

to be fair to this board its actually probably the least underage and least inane overall and therefore you can quite clearly see the difference between someone roleplaying a le redpilled superior white man alpha and someone actually interested in mathematics

this begs the question: are the edgy summerfags genuinely oblivious to the difference between this thread and a good one because they are really dull, or, is here a concerted effort by them to troll /sci/?

what makes you think some trifle about a kid from hackney (east london) building himself a PC was national news you stupid fuck?

what about that image makes you think national news in england involves the lives of niggas from east london?

it wouldn't have even made BBC london news or any of the free papers like the standard or the metro

you see, unlike you yankee bellends we have a very free press with a huge amount of local publications expressing a myriad of views (one of the best things about my country) and local people who live in East Ham might actually read the paper it was published on so that they can find out about what other people in the community are up to.

some of you people are so autistic-ally jaded and out of your depth when it comes to the most simple of things that involve some social or civic understanding; especially when it involves a black or brown nigga - you just start sperging out.

as i said before; in England we have a free, prolific and incredibly diverse press. This means we have LOCAL NEWSPAPERS that report about what the COMMUNITY is doing.

and yes, if i pick up a local paper i expect stories about what that locals have been doing.

i know you dont see how anyone would care about it. thats because you do not have any social or civic understanding.

i know this might come as a shock to you but anyone (and i mean anyone) can publish a newspaper in this glorious country.

this is where it is from. as you can see the guy is obsessed with zimbabwe and south africa.

i would have thought you would have a free, varied press in the land of the free - and not be confused about a trivial story being published somewhere.

the reality is that most of you are from pol and are just circlejerking about making fun of black and brown people who are smarter than you because you want to feel like le superior white man

i mean even the idea of something "making national news" being a problem because some bellends didn't think it was important enough is so unbelievably arrogant, undemocratic and quite frankly childish.

things become national news because people want to read about it. newspapers are privately owned and people ought to be able to publish what they like.

When she "explained" "her" invention it was very obvious she didn't even understand what half of these words mean because she could barely pronounce them properly.
