Presenting 6 finalist projects out of 29, participating in the Stockholm Junior Water Prize 2020
This year’s finalists in the Stockholm Junior Water Prize are taking on the most challenging water issues in the world, with impressive results. In Bolivia, students are helping their community by teaching low-income families how to purify water using coconut shells. In the Republic of Korea, two students have discovered how to remove heavy metals from water using a substance that comes from algae. Watch the videos below to learn more.
