This Pre-teen Believes her Invention can Change the Lives of her Peers Back Home

Eleven-year-old Nigerian-American Eniola Shokunbi has written to Nigerian authorities, requesting an invitation and security support to discuss how do-it-yourself (DIY) box fan filters — known as Corsi-Rosenthal boxes — could benefit Nigerian schools. This initiative follows the recent approval by the State of Connecticut Bond Commission of $11.5 million for the construction and installation of these filters in schools across the state. The project, led by Eniola as a fifth grader, aims to improve air quality in educational settings.
