High school students create award-winning invention to solve major health crisis: 'We plan to create this into a real business'

Another group of budding young scientists have come up with a way to remove microplastics from water. And they want to scale it in order to actually help with the problem. 

And you have to love this part:

"We brought in some more people to help us with the engineering part of it," explained Swayam Sanghvi, who learned of the dangers that microplastics pose to human health from his mother, a doctor, according to the Midvale Journal. "One of our teammates knew about electrical engineering and soldering, another knew how to work with Arduino; we learned from each other."
