The Earth Prize is a global $200,000 environmental sustainability competition for students between the ages of 13 and 19 which will reward the teams whose projects have the most potential to address environmental issues.
The Rene’Mask project was spearheaded by Ilya Lalazaryan, who conducted thorough research and set numerous laboratory experiments to process facial protection items into fuel. The purpose of this project is to solve two problems – save the environment from pollution and produce an alternative energy source that can be used for some heating appliances and engines.
The final is scheduled for March 25. The students will present their projects to the jury online.
We do believe in the victory of our team that will belong not only to our team but to Armenia. We are confident that education is the key to our country’s development and success.
