"Kid of the Year: Gitanjali Rao, 15
“Observe, brainstorm, research, build and communicate.” That is what the
brilliant young scientist and inventor Gitanjali Rao told actor and
activist Angelina Jolie about her process, over Zoom, from her home in
Colorado, during a break in her virtual schooling. Just 15 years old,
Rao has been selected from a field of more than 5,000 nominees as TIME’s
first ever Kid of the Year. She spoke about her astonishing work using
technology to tackle issues ranging from contaminated drinking water to
opioid addiction and cyberbullying, and about her mission to create a
global community of young innovators to solve problems the world over.
Even over video chat, her brilliant mind and generous spirit shone
through, along with her inspiring message to other young people: don’t
try to fix every problem, just focus on one that excites you. “If I can
do it,” she said, “anybody can do it.”"
