[Ubuntu in the wild] Massachusetts Institute of Technology uses Ubuntu

  

MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is a globally-known prestigious research university located in Cambridge, United States, university that contains numerous schools (totalizing 32 academic departments), bearing a solid scientific, engineering and tech orientation.

Along with the mentioned emphasize on research, it seems that MIT gathers (from around the world) talented persons, sometimes as guest residents.

15-year-old Kelvin Doe is a prodigy who, while living in Sierra Leone, has developed powerful skills on handling, building and fixing electronic devices (by searching broken/damaged devices and later putting them together, piece by piece, in order to create useful usable devices, such as radio transmitters, light-generating devices, etc).

The mentioned bundle of skills triggered an invitation from MIT, making Kelvin the youngest person in the world invited to the MIT's "Visiting Practitioner's Program".

Entering into the MIT media labs, the talented Kelvin Doe gained access to computers, computers (as seen in the below clip) powered by Ubuntu, detail that clearly demonstrates the serious Ubuntu penetration into the most versed scientific communities.
