in Africa, there is a kid who may be the Elon Musk off Ghana.
Why?
Because he built an entire car from scratch.
That could drive like this.
Who is this kid?
How did he build this car?
And can this car Dr itself just like a testament in this tiny house in Ghana?
I found Kelvin.
Hi.
I'm Kevin on people calling the elements of Ghana.
If it wasn't obvious by now, Kelvin is poor.
He grew up in Ghana with the average person, makes less than 300 bucks a month.
But that did not stop his ambitions to become an engineer.
So ever since he was 10 years old, he was in his garage building robots, toy planes and even vacuum cleaners out of the stuff he could find around him.
I realized I have a passion in me off creating machines.
I didn't go to any engineering school.
I thought to myself.
This kid taught himself everything, including how to build a car, a really moving car.
For four years, Kelvin went to car shops, toe, learn about cars.
He collected scrap metals from junkyards, construction sites everywhere.
From the beginning, when I started building this guy.
People didn't understand what I was really trying to do.
They were trying to discourage me, Some people telling me that I'm even going mad, bit by bit, piece of metal by piece of metal.
His car was taking shape, but Kelvin couldn't just get everything from the junkyard.
Things like engines cost money Mawr than his family could afford.
So he took a part time jobs to get money to buy an engine for his car.
Jobs sometimes help in the constructed building, selling scrap materials to get money.
Three years later, at the age of 18, after many, many failures, Kelvin finally finished his own Kelvin Mobile.
It opens up words like a Ferrari can go up to 300 horsepower, has a wheel, a mirror, a gear stick, everything you can find in a normal car, even a radio for music on How much did it cost him to get?
It would be less than $3000 in total.
Now Kelvin is the only one in his town with a car, and every time he takes his car out, everyone will come out to watch E take the car outside.
Many people feel excited and they would like to take pictures with it.
Many people are in motivating me to not give up from the West, and all they have been saying It's much reads me to do it better than how I wish to do on.
He is not stopping there in the future, just like Elon must end.
Tesla's Kelvin wants to build his own electric car that can drive on its own.
Jessica is to build on electric, not to drive itself and also prevent accidents, injuries, and his eventual dream is even bigger.
It's toe build airplanes and rocket ships to reach new heights and new planets.
Just think about this for a second.
A kid from a poor family in Ghana with zero money, zero help was able to build a car from scratch.
If the same talent existed in a developed country, he would be working at Tesla.
But for now you'll find him in his garage in Ghana, self teaching himself how to succeed.
