      My work benefits everyone who likes to travel!

      The products I develop help to keep aircraft safe in the sky and make sure that you have a smooth ride when flying off on holiday!

      They also help to benefit the environment, as I am constantly trying to make the products safer and more environmentally friendly 🙂

      Who would you like to benefit with your work when you finish school and get a job?

      Hopefully, everyone.

      My work on making more renewable fuels will make transport cheaper, easier, and we’ll be able to do it without worrying about it’s effect on the environment. Think about this – the cheaper and less we have to worry about transport, the easier it’ll be to get aid and food to those who need it.

      Also, the biofuels we use today are made from food resources … and that doesn’t really make sense, seeing as there are a lot of people in the world who are starving. Did you know that we currently make enough food in the world for everyone to eat? It’s just that some of us eat and waste so much that there’s not enough to go round. The fuel I’m trying to make would come from things we don’t need for food, such as wood and waste material, and therefore would be truly renewable.

      I’m saving the planet man! Just kidding.

      My research on solar cells will hopefully lead to there being cheap, green electricity for everyone. In the future buildings will generate their own electricity without polluting the environment.

      The whole idea of my research is to use sunlight, water, and CO2, to make fuel. Basically, they are earth-abundant, and everyone can afford it.
      Therefore, I think my research can be beneficial to everyone .

      My work makes use of a greenhouse gas that would otherwise be polluting the planet and makes it into materials that can be used in medicinal drugs, plastics or farming.

      The environment affects everyone so i hope my work in some way also helps everyone.
