Young innovators were recognized across several science competitions and showcases. Thirteen-year-old Raji Doshi won the 2026 3M Young Scientist Challenge for a system using algae and calcium-based material to reduce ocean acidity and remove carbon dioxide from seawater. At South Africa’s Eskom Expo International Science Fair, Carel van Niekerk and Jesmine Linnert received Siemens awards for their projects and contributions to rural science education. Students in India presented scientific models and projects at Winchester International English School’s exhibition, which expanded its prizes to encourage both individual work and teamwork. A Kansas State technology showcase is set to feature projects including tools for chemical-risk analysis, irrigation management, agricultural data, and AI-assisted interpretation of veterinary tests.

Restoration efforts, including underwater nurseries that grow coral fragments for transplantation, offer one way to support damaged reefs, though conservationists also stress protecting genetic diversity.
