Before, fruit picking methods were not reliable and complex. They often harmed trees and there was a loss in the fruits that could have been harvested.

It is a rotating tweezer for portable harvesting, with a cylindrical support structure, adjustable clamp, a screw that makes the linear movement into a rotational movement and a mesh that redirects the collected fruits.

If that hasn’t sold you on nitrogen-filled tires, you should also know that the gas is inert, that is to say, it doesn’t have any other particles. The nitrogen a professional will pump into your tires is not only pure but dry.

It is devoid of water molecules that would normally corrode the aluminum components per tire, which is why it is promoted as a corrosion-free gas.

Using materials such as polymers, resins, alloys with metals, ceramics, and even sucrose; it is feasible to make a fast first model and flexible, personalized manufacturing.

 The most specialized materials have the possibility to cost around 150 thousand dollars.

 The initiative of the students is to create parts of microsystems that measure less than one millimeter.

It is a Valve created by Salomón Hakim a Colombian neurologist born on the 4th of June 1922 in Barranquilla and died on the 5th of May 2011. The valve drains excessive cerebrospinal fluid and treats hydrocephalus. Salomón dedicated his life to improving the much-flawed valve made in 1949 by Spitz which had great risks. His new valve was introduced in 1966 and was great input to what is medicine today. His son Carlos follows his father's footsteps by creating his own valve "which may prevent ventricular collapse when the pressure of the CSF is too low" this valve was released in 2017!

During his research, he also discovered that locating illegal mining is a really difficult process which makes it harder to control. Then, when finding solutions for this matter, he thought about getting involved with machine learning practices. something he knew nothing about. After working for a long time, he created an algorithm that identifies the location of the illegal mines through NASA satellite images. It also uses artificial intelligence to predict patterns. Talk about technological innovations for the environment!

So far the system has 79% of accuracy, taking into account it feeds with several pictures to recognize which areas might be intervened and which aren’t. Hence, it is a very high rate for a program that is not finished yet.

In 2001, Pérez partnered with Alberto Perlman and Alberto Aghion to officially launch Zumba, and the trio released a series of fitness videos sold via infomercial Though the word "Zumba" has several meanings in, e.g., Castilian and Latin American spanish ,it is stated by Zumba Fitness, LLC to be a neology that was expressly created as a brand name. Pérez initially wanted to call it "rumba", but this name was already taken for the Cuban musical genre and could create confusion. As such, he and his partner began to try initial letters until they landed on 'sumba'; Pérez ultimately decided to spell it with the letter 'z' because he liked the fictional character Zorro when he was a child.

Colombian designer (Alberto Vázquez )created a simple system for reusing water from the shower after bathing. The device, which consists of four concave parts, has the capacity to collect 90% of the water used in the shower, which represents between 30 and 40 liters of the precious liquid. Once in the device, the water can be reused for watering plants or filling up the toilet tank.
