Meet the 2024 Nexans-Edison Award winners - Jonah And Lucas Mite Removal Service from Shaker High School. These students created the Mite Wipe, a device to efficiently treat bee hives for varroa mites, the leading cause of bee colony collapses in recent years. Compared to current products on the market that are disruptive, single use, labor intensive and expensive, their one-of-a-kind product can: - Dose two different treatments at once - Last for 50 days without being refilled - Be controlled hands-free - Be reused and run on solar power for optimal sustainability Their engaging and creative presentation was reminiscent of how Thomas Edison once problem solved for the world's problems and were a clear choice for this award that honors students engaged in the shift towards a more sustainable future. Congrats guys! #ThomasEdisonPitchContest #STEMContest #SavetheBees
