Chattahoochee High School InvenTeam
Johns Creek, Georgia
Problem Statement:
The Chattahoochee High School InvenTeam will invent a technological solution to purify air in homes. Specifically, the team will focus on filtering air of harmful emissions that leak from residential gas stoves used for cooking. Gas stoves are constantly emitting methane gas, even when they are turned off. This has been a well-known cause of health and environmental problems for many people worldwide. Currently, 38% of Americans use a gas stove. This is higher in the Atlanta area where 41% use a gas stove. Additionally, gas stoves release nitrogen dioxide at levels that are far higher than World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations.
InvenTeam Education Fellow(s)
The Chattahoochee High School InvenTeam will be working alongside InvenTeam Education Fellows, Robin Jones and Kirstin Bullington.
