14-year-old boy crowned America’s top young scientist, wins $25k prize for developing soap that treats skin Cancer

A 14-year-old boy, Heman Bekele, a ninth grader at W.T. Woodson High School in Annandale, Virginia, has been crowned America’s Top Young Scientist in the 2023 3M Young Scientists Challenge. The young boy’s groundbreaking invention, an affordable bar of soap that effectively treats skin cancer, has earned him a well-deserved $25,000 grand prize.

He addressed this issue by ingeniously infusing medicinal soap with three specific ingredients known to reactivate dendritic cells, which play a crucial role in generating an immune response against cancer. One of the most remarkable aspects of Bekele’s soap is its affordability. The cost of producing each bar of this cancer-fighting soap is a mere $0.50 (approximately N382.33), a stark contrast to the exorbitant expenses associated with current medical treatments, which can soar to over $40,000 (approximately N35 million).

“Skin cancer is mostly found in people living in developing countries,’ Bekele told Fairfax County Public Schools. “But the average price for an operation is $40,000. “14-year-old boy crowned America “I was devastated by the idea of people choosing between treatment and putting food on the table for their families. There are so many preventable deaths.’ The young scientist’s journey began with extensive research into skin cancer and dendritic cells, which are pivotal in protecting the skin by enhancing the immune response.

At the Tuesday prize-presentation ceremony of the Glo Festival of Joy
promo in Ijebu Ode, car winner, Temitope Bakare, rolled on the floor and
shed tears of joy as she received her brand new car.

The visit paid off as Bakare eventually realised that she had hit a
jackpot in the Glo customer appreciation promo. Explaining her initial
response she said, “When the calls kept coming and coming, I thought
they were from fraudsters. Though I dialed *611# short code and kept
recharging, I never thought I could win among millions of subscribers.

The entire community erupted in jubilation at the presentation ceremony,
while her relations and neighbours hugged her in excitement.
Incidentally, the winning SIM was a gift from the winner’s 39-year-old
seamstress aunt, Mrs. Adijat Adesoye, who was also on hand with
Temitope ‘s 54-year-old father, Mr. Moroof Bakare, and other members of
the extended Bakare Family to receive the prize.
The State Commissioner for Finance, Honourable Waheed Odusile, who
graced the occasion said he was pleasantly surprised to see the quality
and quantity of prizes being presented to subscribers at the event. He
commended Globacom for taking special interest in the welfare of its
customers and their empowerment through Festival of Joy.

Regional Manager in charge of Glo Operations in Ogun State, Mr. Ikenna
Aguwuom, congratulated
Bakare and the winners of other prizes including generators, sewing
machines and rechargeable fans, noting that more winners will emerge in
the days ahead.
He enjoined other Glo users to get on the winning train saying, “To participate in this promo, voice and data customers just have to dial the dedicated short code *611# and recharge with N500 weekly to stand a chance to win the rechargeable fan, N2,500 monthly recharge for the Sewing Machine, N5,000 monthly recharge for the generator, and N10,000 monthly recharge for the car and N20,000 for houses”.
