13 Year Old Inventor Replicates Fibonacci Sequence to Harness Solar Power

A 13-year old boy, Aidan Dwyer, realized that the fractal nature of trees allows each leaf to get sunlight. Then he wondered why we don't use the Fibonacci sequence in the placement of solar panels to harness energy from the sun and he came up with a little invention to generate the maximum amount of energy.

In the video below, Aidan explains “My design is like a tree, but instead of having leaves it has solar panels at the ends (of the branches).”


“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” ~Greek Proverb

This Is What Happens When A Kid Leaves Traditional Education


Logan Laplante is a 13 year-old boy who was taken out of the education system to be home schooled instead. Logan had the ability to tailor his education to his interests and also his style of learning, something traditional education does not offer.

Logan said that when he grows up he wants to be happy and healthy. At the TEDx talk below, he discussed how hacking his education is helping him achieve that goal.


“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.” -John Lennon

“You can live a life of fear or live a life of love. You have the choice! But I can tell you that if you choose to see a world full of love, your body will respond by growing in health. If you choose to believe that you live in a dark world full of fear, your body’s health will be compromised as you physiologically close yourself down in a protection response.” — Dr. Bruce Lipton

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer
