Meet Kelvin Doe aka Dj Focus, a 15-year-old self-taught hardware hacking whiz-kid from Sierra Leone who was given the chance to visit and study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by David Moinina Sengeh after he run a summer innovation camp in Sierra Leone.

Kelvin’s story is very admirable and remarkable – this goes to show that innovation can spring from anywhere. Kelvin’s drive to teach himself electronics and help his community by reverse-engineering radios, generators and other devices from what 99.9% of the population would consider trash is a moving reminder of that fact.
