More than 100 students applied for the scholarship. Jesse was one of five students to be awarded the prestigious scholarship.

“Jesse has had a deep love for technology ever since he was a kid,” Diego Coya of Rosica Communications said. “His goal in life is to help the earth through technology that enables sustainability.”

One of Jesse’s inventions spotlighted in the scholarship application includes a rail that can automatically build, replace, upgrade, and recycle itself. This rail can be placed manually or by robotic arms that can do the job more efficiently. Every piece of the rail is replaceable, reusable, and recyclable.

The rail he invented can construct itself to form the most efficient routes in factories, warehouses, theme parks, and anywhere that moves materials. Each track can be automatically upgraded over time. With this rail, Jesse will create JHR Innovators, with the primary goal of helping the earth.
