15-Yr-Old Kelvin Doe Wows M.I.T… and the world
Here are five videos on self-taught innovator Kelvin Doe (15), of Sierra Leone. The first video was published on Nov 16, 2012 after his visit to MIT. One year later, it has over 5.3 million views. He has become an inspiration to youth worldwide.
15-Year-Old Kelvin Doe is an engineering whiz living in Sierra Leone who scours the trash bins for spare parts, which he uses to build batteries, generators and transmitters. Completely self-taught, Kelvin has created his own radio station where he broadcasts news and plays music under the moniker, DJ Focus.
Kelvin became the youngest person in history to be invited to the “Visiting Practitioner’s Program” at MIT. THNKR had exclusive access to Kelvin and his life-changing journey – experiencing the US for the first time, exploring incredible opportunities, contending with homesickness, and mapping out his future.
