Description
People read about Angel in the news and call her a wonder child. It is no ordinary feat to become a patented inventor at a young age. Yet behind the whirlwind of accolades and press attention is a story of a girl just trying to navigate growing up in Bagumbayan Sur.
Angel’s Elesi is the untold story of Maria Yzabell Angel Palma and what it took to invent the AirDisc, a revolutionary cooling system that harnesses the air instead of using environmentally harmful chemical refrigerants. This is a story of perseverance, the tangible impact of a parent, and being a woman in the field of science and technology.
