The boy himself says: "When people see me on the street operating my excavator and tipper, they are usually surprised." I don't imagine he's flying to Beverly Hills to demo his projects and then flying back to Nigeria, but I guess that's a possibility. The environment the boy was filmed in suggests that he doesn't have a lot to work with. Maybe that's BBC going for the sensationalist angle, but I doubt it given that the article was originally produced for BBC News Pidgin: https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-48130271 https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-48130271 The initiative to actually implement his designs with limited resources is the hallmark of a hacker, and he belongs on the front page of this site. His young age makes it that much more interesting. I have worked with 15 year-olds before and let me tell you that there's a wide spectrum of abilities. In particular, the ability to reduce plans into an implementable format quantitatively (i.e., measuring and cutting accurately) is extremely rare even in the US. Very few wealthy US students could do what this boy has done.
