Youth Revolution

Youth Revolution is the inspirational story of how Kiara Nirghin, a sixteen-year-old high-school student from Johannesburg, overcame severe health obstacles to win the grand prize at the 2016 International Google Science Fair for her unique and innovative solution to worldwide drought. Having experienced bacterial meningitis, undiagnosed bilharzia and severe weight loss, Kiara was forced to postpone her school career for hospitalization, with a real chance of losing her hearing, her sight and the use of her limbs. Youth Revolution not only covers her journey from the hospital bed to the international stage as the winner of the science award, but also looks at issues surrounding stagnant youth innovation, while considering the dangers of lacking diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The book includes contributions from prominent women in science and education, among them Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate.

Revolutia tinerilor este povestea inspirationala a modului in care Kiara Nirghin, o eleva de liceu de saisprezece ani din Johannesburg, a depasit obstacolele severe de sanatate pentru a castiga marele premiu la Targul international Google Science 2016 pentru solutia sa unica si inovatoare la seceta mondiala. Dupa ce a experimentat meningita bacteriana, biliarza nediagnosticata si scadere severa in greutate, Kiara a fost nevoita sa-si amane cariera scolara pentru spitalizare, cu sanse reale de a-si pierde auzul, vederea si utilizarea membrelor.
