Participating in the Zimbabwe Science Fair and Africa Science Buskers Festival throughout high school, Memory has worked on a number of ideas to solve society’s grand challenges. Last year she turned reeds into a biofuel. For that project she was selected to represent Zimbabwe in the world’s biggest pre-university science competition, the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

At ISEF, Memory scooped the 3rd grand award in Energy: Sustainable Materials & Design Category. The Nat Geo documentary Science Fair: The Series showcases students working to solve the world’s most complex and pressing issues using science while competing for a coveted spot at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the most competitive science fair on the planet.

A narrative that champions the spirit of science and innovation, but more importantly, it’s a celebration of youthful tenacity and the belief that even the youngest among us can change the world.
