While the story has been in the news for awhile, it still warms my heart.
Why?
1. This is a classic 'find a need and fill it' success story. Like wheel chairs and crutches, most of the product out there is too expensive and imposes a hardship on those that really need these devices on an everyday basis.
2. A 13 year old kid has just created a wonderful innovation that will inspire him to do more, and jumpstart any resume or job application for the rest of his life. His family can worry a bit less about his future. Getting a scholarship and into a good school might be just a bit easier.
This is the proverbial 'win-win' situation that we all dream of.
I know he did it with Legos, but don't let them hog the limelight. The boy demonstrates a bit of a visionary ability.
