Congratz: Teen Inventor Sets His Sights on New Tests for Cancer, Pollution

Emerging Explorer Jack Andraka doesn't plan to stop with his prize-winning test for pancreatic cancer.

Jack Andraka's invention was amazing: a new tool for detecting pancreatic, lung, and ovarian cancer. And what's even more surprising is that he invented it at the age of 15.

"I was 15, had no clue what a pancreas was, and knew nothing about cancer," Andraka says. "But I also had no preconceived notions and was ready to try anything. I made a discovery with a laptop, a smartphone, and some online searches. My big message to kids is, 'Why not you? Why can't you come up with the next great innovation or cure?'"
