Tom, a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his
own school the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids. He knew there
had to be a better portable drink solution and decided to innovate from
something he saw in his own home. fruit infused (浸泡)
water.
Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then
struggle for a take-along option. From observing his mum and from his desire to
give kids better drink options, he came up with his original model for the Fun
Bottle. "I wanted to come up with a healthy, natural way for people to
drink when on the go. A big part of my mission is to get people of all ages off
sugary drinks," Tom explains.
The bottle is made with a strainer (滤网) that allows the
great tastes and natural sugars of the various fruits and vegetables you choose
to come through the water, without any of the seeds or skins flowing through.
Tom is proud of his design and excited to be selling the
Fun Bottle on his website and in stores, but this 15-year-old is most proud of
the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others. It helps to provide
healthy alternatives to sugary drinks; and also Tom donates part of the profits
to the Organisation for a Healthier Generation (OHG).
Tom has been awarded several prizes, but this teenage
innovator remains humble. When asked what advice he'd give other
entrepreneurial youth, he says, "Prepare and have your family's support.
It is important to know from the beginning that there are a lot of highs and
lows, and there is no such thing as overnight success."
