Secondary School Graduate Builds 'Robot' I Kano State

 


Isah Barde, a 17 years old secondary school graduate in kano State, has Built a 'Robot' from scraps, using cartons, pipes, led, motor, aluminium, among others, as components.


Isah intends to study robotics and become an

 artificial intelligence expert, despite the

 financial barrier that stand in his way.


It has been three years since the teenage boy

 started invented the robot, which he

 described as a part of his life aspirations,

 inspite of limited support.


He control the robot by moving his hand.


" This robot is made of motor, cardboards,

 led, copper wires, aluminium, pipes, tyres and

 wood," isah told Trust TV.


" There are things I got from people and one

 market called Jakara   where you can buy

 things like a hair dryer that has been

 destroyed and use its motors," he added.


Isah's father, Auwal Barde, is proud of a

 budding ' robotic engineer' in the family but

 lack of the financial wherewithal to help Isah

 live out his lofty dream.


"I don't have the means to support him but I

 will be happy if he has the support elsewhere

 either from the government or from

 individuals.


I'm a poultry farmer," he said.


It was learnt that Isah started showing

 interest in engineering at 8 and he has since

 been steadfast on honing his skills.


"I always support him when he is about to

 give up so that he will be something one day.


In the future, we don't know what he might

 create that will help our country at large,"

 Muhammad Isah's brother disclosed.
