Amy Clark is a 16‐year‐old student from southern Manitoba whose passion for science is driving innovative climate and environmental research. A dedicated science fair competitor since Grade 7, Amy combines her interests in physics, engineering, and environmental science to tackle real‐world challenges affecting both people and the planet.
Last year, Amy focused her research on radon gas, a naturally occurring radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer. To study radon risks across the Canadian Interior Plains, she built her own homemade cloud chamber, a device that allows ionizing radiation to become visible to the human eye. Using soil samples collected from different regions, Amy investigated where radon exposure risks may be highest and how climate may influence radon prevalence over time.
