Ryan Honary

Ryan Honary, based in the United States, is a young adult with a passion for applying STEM technology to create environmental protection solutions. In 2018, when he was in just fifth grade, Ryan was motivated to develop an early detection system capable of circumventing a catastrophic wildfire after witnessing the devastation caused by the Camp Fire in Northern California. That year he entered and won the $10,000 Grand Prize for the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge held in partnership between Tata Consultancy Services and Discovery Education for his Early Wildfire Detection Network submission which provides app technology to firefighters.
