5 Scientist Who tasted Success In Their Teenage

2. Brittany Wenger

Brittany Wenger, born in 1994 is an American student who was the first place winner of the Google Science Fair in 2012. Wenger currently studies at Duke University

For her entry into the science fair, Wenger created an artificial 'brain', a web-based application to accurately assess tissue samples for signs of breast cancer.

The teen built a cloud-based neural network, a computer program coded to process data and detect patterns that are currently 99.1 percent sensitive to malignancy.

As the first place winner, she received a $50,000 scholarship. Wenger spoke about her software at the TEDx Atlanta conference in 2012. In 2013, representing Out-of-Door Academy, she was a finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search.

3. Easton LaChappelle

Easton LaChappelle, aged 17 began working with robotics when he was 14. He lives in Mancos, Colorado, and is challenging the future of prosthetics and telerobotics. The self-taught teen began experimenting with robotic limbs in 2011, when he built his first hand out of Legos, fishing line and servo motors. Frustrated by the high cost of modern prosthetics, he then sought out to develop a more affordable option for amputees.

LaChappelle built his first prototype out of electrical tubing, but for the next one, he sought out more realistic materials.

He will be working on NASA’s Robonaut project this summer. He placed 2nd in the world in engineering at the 2012 International Science Fair.
