As a ninth grader at BASIS Scottsdale, a STEM-heavy public charter in Scottsdale, Arizona, Ethan Wilk became interested in bitcoin. He studied blockchain, the technology that makes bitcoin possible and soon realized its advantages, including its immunity to hacks and transparency of data. That led him to start imagining how blockchain could be applied to conservation. Today, Wilk, who is set to graduate high school this spring, is the founder and director of the Xenia Project, a nonprofit organization that seeks to preserve marine wildlife through the use of innovative technology.
