How Imaginative Young People Are Making The World A Better Place

It’s one thing to be young with a wild imagination, but another to harness that creative power through an invention that can impact the world in a significant way.

By the age of 17, Brittany Wenger had done just that, taking inspiration from her life experiences and developing Cloud4Cancer, a minimally invasive breast cancer detection tool that helps doctors diagnose the disease earlier and more accurately. She joined HuffPost Live host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani today to discuss her motivation, her meeting with President Obama about her research, and how refreshing it is to see young people channeling their passions into such innovative projects.

“When I was in 10th grade, my cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I saw firsthand the experience it was for her and the rest of our family,” said Wenger. “And I found out she wasn’t alone. In fact one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. And the quickest, cheapest and least invasive test is wildly inconclusive, so a lot of doctors refuse to use it. So that’s when I really wanted to create something that help doctors in diagnosing those tests.”

Advice for Students and Jobseekers: When Experience Comes Your Way, Take It

“Whatever hands-on experience you can get, take it, and take more than you think you can handle. Don’t limit your writing experience to the typical classroom workshop environment, where egos can be fragile and stakes are low.”
