CNH welcomed 14-year-old inventor Thiago Príncipe at its plant in Córdoba, Argentina, where he showcased his self-built tractor made from salvaged car parts. Thiago constructed his tractor using pieces he found in the fields near his home, close to Río Cuarto. His initiative first gained attention at the Rural Exhibition of Río Cuarto and later at the Provincial Fair of Sciences, Technologies, Arts, Movement, and Innovation, capturing the interest of the educational and productive community.

## Innovative Journey
Accompanied by his parents, the Minister of Production, Science, and Technological Innovation of Córdoba, Fernando Sibilla, and CNH staff, Thiago toured the Córdoba plant. During his visit, he learned about the production line and automation processes, from assembling parts to operating industrial machinery. Thiago expressed his excitement about the technology he encountered, stating, "I felt the innovation here and all the technology they implement. It was very interesting to see how they work."

## Future Aspirations
One of Thiago's main challenges in building his tractor was developing its steering system. He is already planning his next project, which involves adding an autonomous driving system to his tractor. "We are going to put that system in the tractor to automate it," he explained. Daniel Álvarez Reyna, Plant Manager at CNH, praised Thiago's visit and his interest in mechanics and technology. "Stories like his reflect how curiosity and creativity can transform an idea into a concrete project," Reyna noted. "It is very important for us to open our plant doors and show new generations how that passion can connect with an industry that generates knowledge, jobs, and opportunities," he added.
