Popular Science strongly stands behind Zuck's advice, and continues to encourage young inventors of all genders and races to pursue their passions and work hard.
Our Barrier Breakers video series includes children of all ages working to better their communities and the world, from the nine-year-old who wants to stop Ebola to the 17-year-old who invented a "smart-cane" to help her grandmother walk. We also share the stories of those children giving back, like Hailey Fort, who builds homes gor the homeless. We salute those young people working towards a brighter future for humanity.
