New Delhi: In a bid to change the canvas of the world three Indian teenagers have made the world to recognise the face of talent.

Rohit Fenn, 16, from Bethany High School, Bangalore,  Raghavendra Ramachanderan, 17, from St John’s International Residential School, Bangalore and Sumit Singh Yadav, 14, from Lucknow Public School, Lucknow have reached the final fifteen in the Google Science Fair (GSF) 2012, which challenges young minds to innovate and conduct experiments to change the world we live in.

Talking of individual projects, Rohit has designed a partial-vacuum assisted flush that conserves over 50 percent of the overall water used in a toilet to flush.

Raghavendra has discovered a way to recycle fuel by using sunlight in the hope of saving the world from a global energy crisis.

Sumit Singh has designed a low-cost Vertical Multi-Level Farm, which could be used by small farmers to 

increase crop yield in agriculture and horticulture.

These three Indian students will fly along with 12 other finalists to technology giant Google’s headquarters in California where the final competition will be held in mid-July, and the grand prize is $100,000 as well as a trip to the Galapagos Islands, a part of continental Ecuador.
