Super Kid: Meet Heman Bekele, Time Magazine's Kid of the Year
You don't have to be a grown-up to be a scientist! And you can't be a grown-up to be Time Magazine's 2024 Kid of the Year. Heman Bekele, a 10th-grader at Woodson High School in Fairfax County, Virginia, won the magazine's Young Scientist Challenge - and $25,000. The accomplishment that led to him being named Kid of the Year: inventing a soap that could one day treat and even prevent multiple forms of skin cancer. What a super kid!
