UTEC, The University of Engineering and Technology in Peru, believes that engineering can change the world. So they decided to start by changing a local problem and in the process getting more students interested in applying for their engineering program.
Lima is the second largest capital in the world set on a desert, and the lack of potable water is a huge problem. Since the presence of rain is almost zero, UTEC used the atmospheric humidity which is about 98% to build the first billboard that produces drinking water out of air!
