Meet Luca McGill, the Arizona eighth-grader who flew a drone 120 metres into the sky expecting cities to have the most ground-level CO2; rural areas did instead
- Luca McGillPhoto: Society for ScienceWhen 13-year-old Luca McGill set out to measure carbon dioxide in Arizona, he assumed the busiest city streets would naturally produce the highest levels.
- However, his custom drone experiments revealed a completely different reality.
- As documented by the Society for Science, which highlights young researchers through its Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, Luca’s breakthrough project earned him a spot as a 2025 finalist.
