Meet the 13-year-old who built a device that turns air into water for farms

A 13-year-old student named Roy Kim from Oregon, USA, has developed a device that extracts water from the air using a Peltier module, aiming to assist drought-stricken farms. The invention, which uses temperature differences to condense moisture into water, has been recognized as a top finalist in the 2026 3M Young Scientist Challenge. The device includes sensors to optimize water usage and was tested to produce 10 milliliters of water in two hours. Roy's goal is to promote sustainable farming practices and address global water scarcity issues through technological innovation.
