Cyberbullying with Trisha Prabhu
Isy Suttie speaks with Trisha Prabhu who has created software to tackle cyberbullying.
Presenter Isy Suttie talks to the extraordinarily talented Trisha Prabhu in Boston. Having experienced bullying herself and being fed up of seeing others bullied online, Trisha decided she had to do something to help. At the age of 13 she carried out her own scientific research to find out what could help prevent young people from taking part in bullying on the internet.
By the time she was 14 Trishaβs research had led to the creation of a software she now calls βRethinkβ, which has gained the thumbs up from tech heavyweights MIT and Google. What started off as a school project has now been introduced to over 5 million students around the world as a solution to help prevent online hate.
This is how Trisha is changing the world...
