I would like to extend my upmost gratitude to the Sabi Sand Pfunanani Trust, Good Work Foundation, Lion Sands and the More Collection, and Dulini for being a part of this project and sharing their incredible impact within the region. A huge thank you to Vernon Creswell for his involvement in the project, as well as to Cody Van Wyk for his guidance and assistance in the construction and editing of the documentary.
Lastly, none of this would have been possible without the support of the Laidlaw Foundation. Thank you for this incredible opportunity.

Hi everyone! My name is Beatrice Wharton-Hood and I am a Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering student from Trinity College Dublin. I am from Johannesburg, South Africa, and moved to Dublin for university. I am super excited to be a part of the Laidlaw community and look forward to connecting with all of you!
My Summer 1 research project this summer delves into the world of nanomaterials and how they can be used to enhance and improve perovskite solar cells. This project aims to identify which nanomaterial is the champion in enhancing the cell's efficiency, stability and durability, as well as how it can help the cell be manufactured on a larger scale. Furthermore, the environmental and economic impacts of the material's inclusion will be analysed and discussed.
This summer, I am completing my LiA! I am currently working on a documentary that focuses on 2 organisations that are working together to deliver digital education in the Greater Bushbuckridge region of Mpumalanga, South Africa, and to create an economic and employment ecosystem within the area.
Apart from having a keen interest in sustainability and engineering, I am an avid sports fan, particularly tennis and field hockey!
