Jessica Matthews
The dual citizen of Nigeria and the U.S. is the founder of Uncharted Play, a company that uses renewable kinetic energy solutions to generate clean, consistent, and cost-efficient power for communities, facilities, and the Internet of Things. The company first made headlines for its energy-harnessing soccer ball, called the Soccket, that could power a lamp, cell phone or other devices after a few hours of play. At age 22, Matthews came up with this invention to help address the power challenges on the African continent.
