How Did I Get Here? With Meg Phillips, 2021 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Winner

How did Meg Phillips get here?

This podcast is presented in partnership with Samsung Solve for Tomorrow.

You might not know this, but Tasmania is the roadkill capital of the world.

That’s a fact that has stuck with nature lover and engineering student Meg Phillips her whole life.

So when she came across the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Competition, she formulated a ground-breaking idea to help prevent roadkill on Tasmanian roads.

Her idea involved using radio signals and sensors to essentially warn animals of oncoming vehicles and help save their lives.

But don’t just take it from us – Meg joins us this week on How Did I Get Here? to chat about her experience building the idea and how her early life led her to inspiration.

For her incredible idea, Meg won the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Competition, netting her $10,000 in prize money and a life-changing opportunity to help make her vision come to life.

Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow Competition is designed to build interest and proficiency in STEM and gives young Aussies the opportunity to share their big ideas.

Open to young people aged 18-24, entrants can build their vision and get rewarded for their innovation and creativity.
