Wait, He Did What?!

You may have heard of him already, does William Kamkwamba ring a bell? Perhaps you know him as The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind? If you haven't heard of him, watch the video below to hear an amazing story about a teenager from Malawi who created a windmill to power his village from junkyard scraps. Not only that, but he learned how to do this from science books he checked out at the library. Oh and he couldn't read English so he figured it all out from the diagrams. Pretty amazing, huh? No wonder he's already spoken at TED and published his story in the book, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind. But wait, there's more, it was at the TED conference that he saw his first computer and learned of the internet. How can you not love this story?!
