In a world where the word "genius" gets thrown around to describe
taxi-cab apps and online dating algorithms, it’s nice to meet someone
who remembers that truly important inventions are about making life
better for your community and your world ... not just about finding the
most efficient way to get a cheeseburger at 3 a.m.
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.
