Exclusive Generation Impact: The Scientist Trailer Highlights Emily Tianshi

ComingSoon is excited to debut the Generation Impact: The Scientist trailer for Garage by HP’s latest short film in its Generation Impact series. Like previous entries, it spotlights another brilliant Gen Z inventor who makes the world a better place by using technology. This time the spotlight is on Emily Tianshi and releases on April 19 on YouTube and HP’s digital hub.

“This film shows how innovation can be born from everyday moments, including from nature,” says Ellen Jackowski, HP’s Chief Impact Officer and Global Head of Sustainable Impact. “At HP, we believe one thoughtful idea has the power to change the world. Emily epitomizes this belief, turning her curiosity about iconic Torrey Pine trees into a viable climate solution to combat severe drought.”

“In The Scientist, we follow Emily Tianshi, a young woman striving to raise awareness of and create solutions for the global water crisis. At age 13, Tianshi transformed her garage into a lab to research San Diego’s iconic Torrey Pine and uncovered how the tree’s unique needle structure enabled its survival through years of severe drought in California,” says the synopsis. “Using a $20 microscope, Lego, and various household items, she developed a prototype to harvest atmospheric moisture, research that has potential to help produce water in areas of severe drought. Tianshi, now a college freshman, has applied for a patent on the device she created and is also the founder of Clearwater Innovation, an advocacy program that encourages student innovation to solve environmental problems.”

“Emily Tianshi is one of the next generation of scientists seeking creative and imaginative solutions to combat our current climate crisis,” said director Wang-Breal. “It was truly inspiring to watch Emily and document her groundbreaking discoveries in the Torrey Pine State Park. Her work will not just help drought-ridden geographical regions and populations, but it will also encourage other young boys and girls to start their own garage labs so they can create real change in their communities.”
