What they built

Carlos Morret Ledesma built Tláloc at age 17 — an AI-powered digital twin system designed to optimize water distribution across Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities facing chronic water scarcity. The system models the city's water network to identify inefficiencies and improve equitable water allocation for millions of residents. It was built while Carlos was a student at Tecnológico de Monterrey (Tec Santa Fe campus).
