Kelvin Doe, born October 26th, 1996, is a native of Sierra Leone, and became an engineering prodigy at the age of 15. Doe would frequently scour through trash bins for spare parts and scrap metal. He would use these spare parts to build batteries, generators, and transmitters. Being taught by nobody but himself, Kelvin now has his very own radio station where he plays music and broadcasts news under the alias “DJ Focus”. Kelvin has become the youngest person in history to be invited to the Visiting Practitioners Program at MIT. Doe also became a speaker at TEDxTeen, and lectured the undergraduate engineering students at Harvard. In May of 2013, Doe signed a 100,000 dollar solar project pact with Canadian based ISP Sierra WiFi. Kelvin Doe is now one of the most well known and respected African inventors. Doe has had the opportunity to meet various leaders around the world. including Hillary Clinton and Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo. He has also been able to speak to young people in Africa using various platforms. Kelvin is a frequent speaker at sci/tech/art and youth empowerment functions and in 2016, became an honorary board member of Emergency USA, an organization with a mission to provide free medical and surgical care to victims of war and poverty. He lives and studies in Toronto, Canada, and hopes to run for president of Sierra Leone in the future to help improve the lives of the people in his country. Kelvin Doe overcame all odds and shows that no matter where you come from or what your circumstances are, you can achieve something great that can benefit and impact the rest of the world. The determination of the human mind to pursue something it wishes to achieve is perhaps one of the most exceptional qualities about being human, and Doe takes those qualities and stretches them to the max.

I love this story, it is crazy to think about such a pointless thing in life like trash and be able to turn it into a useful product for people. This is amazing because people in poor countries are struggling and this product, only using scrap metal, will help them out so much in the long run and make it easier for them to get power. Also this will help reduce the trash problem in the world because they are reusing metals from trash. Great job on this story, it was very interesting.
