These are fast paced talks from people with clear vision of innovations they intend to spearhead and grow on the continent.</p>
<p>
Last year, one of the vision speakers was David Sengeh who pitched his idea of designing a competition to help youth in his home country create their own solutions. The result of his efforts was the discovery of Kelvin Doe famously known as DJ Focus. 15-Year-Old Kelvin Doe is an engineering whiz living in Sierra Leone who scoured the trash bins for spare parts, which he used to build batteries, generators and transmitters. Completely self-taught, Kelvin has created his own radio station where he broadcasts news and plays music under the moniker, DJ Focus.<br>
<br>
Kelvin became the youngest person in history to be invited to the <a href="http://mit.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=03a577cc4e0f6b7e9f0cf83ed&id=2c7dff3f04&e=4b9b0bfe9f" target="_self" style="color: #eb4102;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">"Visiting Practitioner's Program"</a> at MIT.<br>
