in Africa there is a kid who may be the
Elon Musk of Ghana why because he built
an entire car from scratch that can
drive like this
who is this kid how did he build this
car and can this car drive itself just
like a Tesla
in this tiny house in Ghana I found
Kelvin hi I'm Kelvin and people call me
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
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 of creating machines I
didn't go to any engineering school I
taught myself this kid taught himself
everything including how to build a car
a real moving car
for four years Calvin went to car shops
to learn about cars He collected scrap
metals from junkyards construction sites
everywhere from the beginning when I
started building this car people didn't
understand what I was really trying to
do they were trying to discourage me
some people were even 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 more than his
family could afford so he took up
part-time jobs to get money to buy an
engine for his car
we're doing mineral jobs sometimes
helping the constructors building
selling scrub 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 upwards 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
[Music]
and how much did it cost him 25 to guess
it will be less than three thousand
dollars 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
[Applause]
every time I
take the car outside many people feel
excited and they like to take pictures
with it many people have been motivating
me to not give up from there with and
what they have been saying it motivates
me to do it better than how I wish to do
and he is not stopping there in the
future just like Elon Musk and Tesla
Kelvin wants to build his own electric
car that could drive on its own my new
car is to build an electric car that
will drive itself and also prevent
accident injuries at his eventual dream
is even bigger it's to 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
[Music]
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 sexy
