Meet the Sierra Leonean who built his own radio station at the age of 13.

Kelvin Doe (born 26 October 1996 in
Freetown ), also known as DJ Focus , is a
Sierra Leonean engineer. He is known for
teaching himself engineering at the age of 13
and building his own radio station in Sierra
Leone, where he plays music and broadcasts
news under the name "DJ Focus." He was
one of the finalists in GMin's Innovate Salone
idea competition, in which Doe built a
generator from scrap metals. Doe would
constantly use discarded pieces of scrap to
build transmitters, generators, and batteries,
as well.
As a result of his accomplishment, he
received an invitation to the United States
and subsequently became the youngest
person to participate in the "Visiting
Practitioner's Program" at MIT. His
accomplishments were documented by
@radical.media and presented on their
corporate YouTube channel. When the video
went viral , the story was picked up by CNN ,
NBC News , and The Huffington Post .

Doe subsequently was a speaker at
TEDxTeen and lectured to undergraduate
engineering students at Harvard College. In
May 2013, Doe signed a $100,000 solar
project pact with Canadian High Speed
Service Provider Sierra WiFi.

Today, Kevin Doe is one of the most
respected among other young African
inventors. He has had the opportunity of
meeting various leaders of the world including former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , and Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo . He has also been able to speak to young people in Africa on different platforms.
