Place reservation for Breakthrough : how one teen innovator is changing the worldJack Andraka was just 15 when he invented an early detection test for three types of cancer. After a family friend passed away from pancreatic cancer, Jack began to research the subject. He learned that the lack of a rapid, low-cost early screening test contributed to the poor survival rate among individuals. While sitting in biology class, he hit upon an idea. Then he came up with a plan and budget to put his idea in motion. In 'Breakthrough, Jack encourages members of his generation to approach their pursuits, whatever they may be, with determination and optimism.
