If you think about Woz as "I started a multi-billion company when I was 17" then not many. But if you think about Woz as "I inspired many to become engineers for engineering's sake" then you'd be surprised by sheer amount of engineering talent in eastern countries (I'm a central european myself) that got inspired by different tutors, mentors, tinkerers... Not to mention underfunded Soviet engineers that managed to build these wonderful machines of war - that could compete with US machinery. AFAIK Engineering was always encouraged in east - It was "Liberal Arts" that were oppressed and eastern management stinks - even more than western does.
