Young Maker Wows M.I.T.

Young Maker Wows M.I.T.
Sierra Leone maker extraordinaire Kelvin Doe.

I wrote about Kelvin Doe before his appearance at Maker Faire New York and met him at the fair. He’s a very impressive kid who makes electronics from components he digs out of the trash. He went on to wow the crowds at M.I.T. where he was a guest resident for three weeks. Check out this video about Kelvin. Incredible, moving stuff. The power of making is real.
