Eighteen-year-old Mach was the youngest person in Poland(波兰)to receive money from others to develop his company. He started FIVE, a mobile messaging app(应用程序), for deaf people. The app lets deaf people create their own hand signs to communicate with friends. The app now has more than 10,000 deaf users. And Mach thinks there will be about 150,000 more deaf users next year. Mach says, “I love to create. I will stick to it to the end of my life.”
William Zhou was born in Beijing and grew up in Canada. He strongly wanted to make a change in education. So he created CHALK.

Zhou says you have to find something you truly care about. Or you may just end up giving it up.
