 Cheikh Bamba Diaby

Fifteen-year-old Senegalese, Cheikh Bamba Diaby, is a self-taught robotics engineer.

The Senegalese teen was able to unblock his sister’s mobile phone using tips he learned on the internet.

In a bid to fix his sister’s phone without her knowing he had locked it, Diaby went looking for help, but he could not afford the charges. He simply went online and learned how to unlock a phone.

He has created a motion sensor, a card reader and even an independent car. Click here to read more.
