13 Years Old Shubham Banerjee - Most Innovative Minds Out Of There

[JANASENA]

 

Shubham Banerjee is only 13 years old and already on his way to become one of the most innovative minds out of there. He is an eighth grader and lives in California.

When he started exploring the world of Braille, the impact-based script that the blind read, he found after basic research, that Braille printers were too expensive for the average customer. So he built his own, only his design was based on a lego robotics playset.

The result was 'Braigo', a staggering amalgamation of innovation and sheer genius. He later improved upon his design by including parts from modern printers and an Intel based chip. The end result that was 'Braigo 2.0', attracted so much attention that even the people at Intel were impressed.

"He's solving a real problem, and he wants to go off and disrupt an existing industry. And that's really what it's all about," said Edward Ross, director of Inventor Platforms at Intel.

Since then, Intel has invested an undisclosed amount of money into his project. That makes Shubham one of the youngest entrepreneurs and stake-holder in Intel.

A market-ready version of 'Braigo' will soon be available.
