Allons en France with Julia Peck

The Embassy of France and six French
Consulates in the United States organ-
ized the Allons en France program,
which offered seven trips to Paris from
July 7 to July 17. Candidates for
the Washington, D.C., prize sub-
mitted invention proposals that
could change everyday life in the
future. First place was awarded to
Julia Peck from Woodrow Wilson
High School, the creator of the
"iChapeaugénérateur"— an energy-
producing hat that powers an iPhone.
A modified beanie-propeller hat, the
contraption works by using a genera-
tor to capture the energy of the pro-
peller and convert it to power. The
electricity is channeled to the iPhone
via a cord attached to the generator.
