Read the text below and answer questions 1 to 8. Kelvin Doe

Kelvin Doe was born in Sierra Leone. This 17-year-old is a self-taught engineer. When

he was 11 years old, he looked through waste bins in his neighbourhood to look for scrap

electronic parts. At 13, he made his own battery. He put acid, soda and metal in a tin can. He waited for the mixture to dry and then wrapped tape around it.

Doe then decided to build a generator to tackle the lack of constant electricity supply

to his neighbourhood. He used parts that he made himself or had found in waste bins. The

generator he built helped power a community radio station too. In fact, the radio station was another one of Doe's creation. He built that using recycled materials. He is known as DJ Focus. He plays music at the radio station while his friends work as journalists and station managers.

Doe had never been more than ten miles from his home but in 2012, he went to the United States of America. He spoke to the Meet the Young Makers panel in New York, presented his inventions to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students and lectured to engineering students at Harvard College.

Kelvin Doe is an inspiration to teenagers all over the world. Adapted from Changing the World, The Star, October 2013
