Self-taught African Teen Wows M.I.T.

Kelvin Doe is only fifteen years old who grew up in the poor West African country of Sierra Leone. Even though, or perhaps because, the electricity is rarely working in town, he began to learn and invent all through reverse engineering and teaching himself.

Thnkr TV published the human interest story just last Friday, and already the video has amassed over 90,000 views. The video is also featured on popular forums, like NeoGaf, BlackVisions, and BodyBuilding.
