You might not know this, but Tasmania is the roadkill capital of the world.

That’s a fact that has stuck with nature lover and engineering student Meg Phillips her whole life.

So when she came across the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Competition, she formulated a ground-breaking idea to help prevent roadkill on Tasmanian roads.

Her idea involved using radio signals and sensors to essentially warn animals of oncoming vehicles and help save their lives.

But don’t just take it from us – Meg joins us this week on How Did I Get Here? to chat about her experience building the idea and how her early life led her to inspiration.
