At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

At over 80° south latitude on Mars, a formation called “Inca City” reveals a network of kilometer-scale ridges that forms an impressive geometric grid visible from space, created by deep fractures and sculpted by ice in one of the most extreme environments on the red planet.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

Embraer’s flying car successfully takes off in SP, advances towards certification, has already completed 35 flights, reaches 43 meters in height, and promises to operate with much less noise than helicopters.
