Sofiia Lipnevych, a senior student from Radekhiv, located in the Lviv region, took home the 1st place title and a gold medal at KIDE, Asia's biggest exhibition for inventions and designs.

The head of the Sheptytskyi district state administration, Andrii Diachenko, reported that.

"I congratulate Sofiia Lipnevych on her victory at Asia's largest international exhibition of inventions and designs, KIDE, organized by the World Intellectual Property Associations for Inventions (WIIPA) and the Taiwan Invention Promotion Association (TIPPA). The girl has reached the highest international level! She took 1st place and won a gold medal for researching the technology of obtaining and applying thermochromic micro composites," Andrii Diachenko.

Sofiia is an 11th-grade student at the Radekhiv specialized school who is studying a foreign language in depth.

Her scientific mentor is Yurii Chornyi, who holds a PhD in Physical and Mathematical Sciences and is the head of the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the Department of Solid State Physics at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

Around 500 inventors from more than 30 countries participated in the scientific conference. This included 15 students from Ukraine, precisely two from the Lviv Regional Academy of Sciences.

For reference:

Arina and Diana Khmeliuk from Kyiv have created a groundbreaking robotic waste sorting station that operates using a neural network. Their project has gained global recognition and earned them a silver medal and special recognition at IWIS, one of Europe's biggest innovation exhibitions in Poland.

Moreover, 16-year-old schoolboy Bohdan Hlavatskyi from Ukraine's western city of Lviv created a "smart" traffic light to analyze and control a dangerous situation on the road and warn all traffic participants about it.

In addition, a schoolboy from Zhovti Vody in the Dnipropetrovsk region won the international exhibition of inventions and design in the Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung.
