At just 15, Filipino student Angelo Casimiro transformed a simple activity—walking—into a way to charge devices with his self-designed, energy-generating shoes.
Equipped with piezoelectric materials in the soles, the shoes capture the kinetic energy from each step and convert it into electricity, enough to power small gadgets like phones or flashlights.
Turning Walking into Practical Power for Communities
Motivated by frequent typhoons and power outages in the Philippines, Angelo created the shoes not just as a novelty, but as a practical tool for communities with limited electricity.
His invention has gained recognition at international science fairs and online, highlighting how young innovators from developing countries are turning creativity into practical solutions for everyday challenges.
