Our Grand Prize Winner is:

Innovation: The Water Watcher
Name: Elizabeth
Age: 12

Realizing just how much water it took to take a shower, Elizabeth began seeking a way to make everyone more aware of their water usage. After learning that reducing her shower time only by one minute would save 1,000 gallons of water per year, she was driven to find a smarter way of utilizing this valuable resource.

As a result, Elizabeth created “The Water Watcher”, a device that can be fastened to any faucet.  It signals a red light and sounds a beep every time a half-gallon of water is used. Elizabeth hopes this will keep everyone more conscientious in just how much water they use up in their everyday life.

Brianna, 11 won 2^nd Place for her idea of a Swimwear with Waterproof Pocket
