The degree is probably based on him. I'm 3rd year engineering and all I've done is make a little spinning robot

college should attend him

Lmfao! This is so true, he went straight to the league. “ The Lebron James of robotics!” Lml

Yes he can instead teach in college

Bro made a whole formula student car by himself while us team of 40 trying to figure out which screw driver to use😂😂

Mechatronics Engineer too

Same here...

how does humility help

i agree stay humble

@@isalshukla6039 so you are always willing to learn and able to work with others

frfrr☠

fr damn

Don’t feel bad. This is the very best of MIT, at least as far as maker portfolios go. Even most MIT students didn’t do half this much in high school.

@@leopardduck4490 i know a guy who wrote some papers in high school on some sort of hard math

Funny, but don't underestimate farming, it is not easy.

I managed to get an electronic engineering degree too ... but t'was never like that for raw genius.. and that's what I was thinking... total shock and awe.... !!!

that d be acc hilarious

he's Asian. he'll still lose out to the black kid who made a volcano with baking soda and vinegar and got a B

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j Sad truth, ig

Curious, what major would someone like this go into, asking cuz I live building things like this.

@@KingofShorts08 Hello good sir, back in highschool I was plagued by the same question... I loved building cool stuff as a kid. It started with legos and evolved to PCs, 3D printers, robots, and electronic music projects. When it came time to choose a major, my philosophy was to go any direction as long as I got to employ all the skills I loved such as designing, being creative, coding, and learning/applying science. With all that being said, I chose to study mechanical engineering with a focus in robotics and automation (other universities call that mechatronics). If you love the process of designing, testing, and implementing solutions to interesting problems then you should check out engineering. Its the practical application of science. There are 3 main branches of engineering: 1 Mechanical - focused on materials, machines, motion, and their design (Think engines, gears, pulleys, any physical machine that does some kind of work) 2 Electrical - focused on electricity, circuit design, analog and digital logic/processes, and signals (they design solutions that involve electronic devices such as motors, logic circuits, navigation devices, radio transmitters, etc...) 3 Civil - focused on buildings, transportation, and resource infrastructure (Think roads, buildings, water systems, drainage, city planning, bridges, basically all the logistics people need day to day). Any other realm of engineering you might hear of is usually a specialization or combination of the big three^. (Well except chemical engineering which is definitely unique in many regards). There are lots of ways to mix and match. The trick is finding a combination/specialization that suits your interests and sills. If you love coding and building things, then mechatronics may be great fit! If you dislike the mechanics and love the logic and coding then mabye software engineering. Otherwise maybe you just love the engineering process, designing unique solutions, and being creative with the tools/resources around you. If that's the case theres even more areas that you can't go wrong with such as aerospace, chemical, systems, architectural, structural, etc... It's about about finding and creating solutions to needs/problems! If that's something you enjoy then keep fostering your passion with projects, classes, and look for ways to grow your skills and community!

Ayo, it's the horizon!!!!! Huge fan. Jokes aside though, guy has a lot of talent, but I can't help but wish all students had the kind of funding and mentorship required to pursue projects like his. If you think about it, it is a little bit pay to win. Still, bro is very talented, and def deserves to be in MIT.

@InnitBruvz hell yeah. Clearly it would be hard to name another kid who would thrive like this, even under the watch of a billionaire.

Damn, I didn't expect you to be here

​@@InnitBruvz You can simulate everything virtually in code and pay 0 dollars apart from your computer and electricity costs. It is also faster - welding, soldering, positioning heavy parts in reality takes time. Yes you would not have some skills which can only be trained in real life, but who said you need to know absolutely everything, you can do lots of things virtually, from PCB design to CNC programming, just imagine you've done these parts in real life, then put them inside your simulator (which you also wrote), and see if it fits/works.

Same yeah this is impressive wow

I felt the exact same way

open up KZfaq to tell us if you made a change

Nuclear fusion isn't that hard to achieve. The goal is to achieve sustained nuclear fusion that produces orders of magnitude more energy than you put in, which is not what's going on here. Still a cool experiment, nonetheless.

@@Appri yeah im sure you've achieved nuclear fusion at the age of 15 years old. Come off it

​@@Rz-zu5vf I'm simply explaining that fusing nuclei is a commonly replicable achievement, while sustained fusion is the thing nuclear physicists are working on globally. It's no small achievement that he got it working, but the scientific method is meant to be reproducible. The comments I'm seeing sound as if he's achieved the breakthrough at age 15, which is absolutely not the case. My field is clearly different than this genius applicant, but replicating an experiment is simply replicating an experiment, that is all. And for the record, I'm a junior at the college he's applying to.

@@Appri Yes I know that he didn't achieve energy producing fusion. Still, creating that sort of stuff before going to university, let alone before being 15, is fucking impressive. I have a bachelor's degree in microengineering and I would dream of having the skills and especially dedication this guy has at 18.

@@Appri well clearly you wanted to downplay his accomplishment. you don't just hop in a YT comment section to blabber "okay well, he didn't do this one NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE thing that whole institutions are working on right now. what he did isn't even that hard!" without being a little pompous lmao. like what's next? you're gonna go to your rowing crew team and be like "hm, your goal is to break the world record for the 2000m. what you're currently doing has already been done before! it's meant to be replicable!"

My thoughts exactly. He is undoubtedly smart and dedicated, but man if I had money for more than 2pcs of arduino mega 2560's...

Not sure why funding is relevant, when other kids spend their parents money on expensive phones and gaming consoles

​@@klb-og7cpyes you have money. The difference is u choose to spend it on phones etc

@@johnwig285the coat of literally any phone or electronic device could not possibly begin to add up to the money that his parents have been able to throw at him. He's casually pulling up SOLIDWORKS, a multi-thousand dollar program and had the funding to build a car. Money absolutely plays in here.

@@johnwig285I guarantee you that an iPhone and ps5 is much cheaper than a fraction of the raw materials used in this portfolio. No hate to the creator, but when I was in high school, my parents could not have afforded this.

dawg what

ycombinator comes to this guy to give him funding bruh

💀😭

Invest in him before he asks for seed money..

leave him alone

Curious, what major would someone like this go into, asking cuz I live building things like this.

Prob electrical engineering or computer engineering@@KingofShorts08

@@KingofShorts08 This is perfect for mechanical engineering

@@silverdragon2462 How about computer science?

That would be completely focussed on the software, negarlo none of the application „fun“ part

bro its not iit thats hard, its the pressure from family to make iit

There definitely are many but also many like me who are genuinely amazed by this and whole-heartedly would appreciate this

It is though? This person is clearly a step above the normal even for MIT and i doubt ANY iit student has this many resources and also time after the cram school pressure. That being said I'm just plain impressed by the dedication so I don't get why you would think people are seething

@@cluelessturlte1512 seething

Yo this killed me. dead funny.

Mira que he conocido gente hábil, pero esto es de otro mundo, nunca había visto algo parecido.

forgot to add this earlier but i'd love it if you share some videos detailing how you made some of your projects ❤️

nah fr

And thats why MIT accepted him

Where are u from brother?

Junior CS major, feel exactly the same way. This kid probably knows a lot more about programming than I do, and that's only one small part of his portfolio!

I am very jealous of his knowledge too. He has mastered so many skills that take trade schools years to teach.

Actually can I ask, I’m interested in biomedical engineering, but as you’re a senior in the major what do you think about it?

So this is a digital portfolio. Is video form portfolio more effective?

I heard that line and started to question if this video was a joke. But no, I guess he just actually achieved nuclear fusion at 15. 🤯

@@nothingleft4911 He fused some nuclei together through a well known experiment. But he didn't achieve nuclear fusion in the common sense, as in he he didn't achieve sustained nuclear fusion with energy surplus.

@@Appri But wouldn't energy surplus break the 2nd law of Thermodynamics?

​@@zoro-i8u Not at all. It's basically a chemistry reaction, deuterium and tritium reacting to form Helium and neutrons, which is by nature energy positive but requires incredible conditions with huge activation energy. Now, if you want to harvest that energy, that's the problem.

One high school kid did and turned his entire neighborhood into a radioactive danger area

I build stuff like this in my master’s so much fun, then on into my career. Beware of corporate politics and jealousy, you have a gift and your job after college is to get somewhere they enable you to create and pay you for it with out to much red tape!

3.91 is crazy. How are you stinking up your grade’s that much 💀

@@dennisivanov6584 what do you mean stinking?

​@@bendustin7609 i feel the same way. Even tho my cgpa > 3.9 in cse as well, i do not feel like I'm not even 10% as smart as this guy. I've seen mit maker videos that were remarkable, but this dude just eclipsed my skills by large

@@bendustin7609 why is it not 4.0??? How is bro getting B’s

No B's. But some A-'s. I dont know if this is standard. But an 90-93 is only worth 3.7 points at my school.@@dennisivanov6584

✨Girl...Same ✨

aaaaaaand its all over my screen 😅😅 clean up aisle: my pants 😅😅

Don't be sad. Be happy on what you achieved. Not alot of people go to college and tolerate it, much less go for a master degree and study a discipline of engineering. Theory is important, without it, how can you design something, and expect it to work or not work?

Then go out and do it. Who's stopping you?

@@damuffinman6895 time and money stops a lot of people

@@MrCaps-sq4bk yes, of course theory is important. But let's say that I would like to do a little bit more of pratical experience.

@@damuffinman6895 the amount of theory I need to study for university exams is stopping me. I don't even have enough time to do that, doing additional things is just out of question.

holy crap
