Ishmael M. Kargbo and Moses M. Kamara, both SSS-II Science pupils attending the Saint Francis Secondary School in Makeni city, Bombali District , Northeastern Sierra Leone recently showcased at the school premises their newly developed electric Lamborghini prototype from scrap materials.
The prototype they've developed is rechargeable and is regulated by a Play station-3 like keypad connected to the car through a long black cable which allows an operator to move the toy car back and forth with a flood of lights in the front on the middle top and back of the prototype car all shining bright immediately, the power button is being pressed to switch it on.
The lads told AWE-Media.SL that “it took us two weeks and three days to develop this prototype to show what we can do as prospective Engineers, adding, we can also develop a larger electronic Lamborghini car that can carry up to five people if only were supported financially to be able to buy the items needed to get to work.
When asked about an estimated amount of cash that would help them to invent their own locally made electric Lamborghini car that will be 100% free from use of gas, they school pupils aiming to become two of the Africa’s Best Engineers with smiling faces said: “Just fifteen-(15) Thousand Leones will be enough to let us create wonders. If anybody wants to help us get better with our engineering vision we are reachable on mobile: +23230138208.
In addition, the boys who are close friends and classmates had called on their school authorities and government to ensure that a laboratory is build in their school, “if we’ve an advanced laboratory in our school for the sciences, other pupils will also be motivated to invent new things as we are being taught by our teachers daily."
