Jack Andraka was just a fifteen-year-old Maryland high school student when he invented an inexpensive early-detection test for pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancers. Now, at eighteen, he has already won the 2012 Intel ISEF Gordon E. Moore Award, the 2012 Smithsonian American Ingenuity Youth Award, first place in the 2014 Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge, and the 2014 Jefferson Award.
He speaks to audiences across the globe about his personal story, his research, LGBT issues, and his ideas for STEM education reform.
In Australia doing the Writers Festival circuit, Jack Andraka’s book Breakthrough is a must-read for any LGBTI kid struggling to come to terms with being gay….or being a geek!
Jack has met the Obamas, the Clintons, Pope Francis and now Dean Beck.
