CNHS Student Part of Winning Team at Leadership Summit
Colts Neck High School senior Francesca Edralin was one of 17 high school students selected from across the country to travel to Milan, Italy this past summer for the Education First (EF) Global Leadership Summit addressing the future of food. Participants learned about hunger, food waste, and urban gardening, and then challenged to develop ideas to change the world. The summit culminated with the presentation of the top 8 prototypes. The winning prototype, Hydrone, was created and designed by Francesca’s team. Hydrone will capture moisture in the air and convert it into a water spray that can help water crops and gardens, especially significant during a drought. Solar panels will power Hydrone and the device will be manufactured entirely out of recycled or reused materials, making it almost 100% sustainable.
