Decided to Google it. He moved on to a new project which is a platform to help other young inventors [0]. He went meta.
To be fair, any misalignment between what he has done and how it was presented in the press I blame 100% the press.
He did something cool, in line of what’s the Google Science prize is all about (I.e. promoting science research among teenagers, not finding world-changing inventions). The press that went nuts pointing ”this teenager just solved ocean pollution for us!” due to the known incentives that ad-based press have.
