One of the youngest upcoming tech entrepreneurs in the world has been discovered right here in Nigeria as a 13-year-old has built a battery-operated fan.
The young inventor
A 13-year-old boy identified as Ukoma Michael, who is one of Nigeria's youngest upcoming tech entrepreneurs, has reportedly invented a battery-operated fan that will last for up to 19 hours.
According to reports, he calls his latest invention, “Blue Wind Fans,” and they come in different shapes and sizes from table top to free standing.
Once the fans are charged, they can run for up to 19 hours!
How he does it?
Michael makes his fans from aluminum and wire, and uses old cartons for packaging. This makes them very affordable for low income families, but the fans are presentable and modern looking, blue with a high-tech appearance.
As a young entrepreneur, Michael has more plans in his future; he wants to eventually manufacturer not just fans, but also engine parts, and aircrafts.
