The 2013 Young Scientist Challenge Winner is Peyton Robertson. And we must say... it's a well-deserved award for this young man.
It makes perfect sense now because of an 11-year-old's ingenious invention.
Peyton Robertson, from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., designed a new kind of sandbag to protect against flooding from hurricanes and other disasters. "Superstorm Sandy really got me concerned about how people can prepare," he told NBC News.
His Sandless Operational Sandbag (SOS) earned him the title of "America's 2013 Top Young Scientist" after winning the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
