Meet Thomas Sohmers, the 15-year-old computer whiz who hacks defunct tablet computers for fun, collaborates on military technology concepts with MIT, and wants to start his own company.
Sohmers made a splash at MIT when he showed off a head-mounted display he’d made for a student he met through a school “buddy” program that matches interested high school kids with college mentors, according to the Boston Herald.
The incident landed him an invitation to a meeting of the MIT Entrepreneurs Club where he met Kurt Keville, the coordinator of the MIT Soldier Design Competition — who was blown away by Sohmer.
