SHS student invents a miniature aeroplane

In a related development, a young, talented Ghanaian boy has been celebrated for his creativity and innovative thinking.

This comes after the unidentified young man, who is a student at the Mim Senior High School (MISEC) in the Ahafo Region, invented a mini aeroplane.

In a video circulating on social media, the SHS student displayed his mini aeroplane, which was made from recycled materials.

He was seen in the video operating his miniature aeroplane, which was painted white, green and black, during a test run.

The miniature aeroplane runs on a battery and is operated with a remote similar to the operating system of a drone.

Students and teachers of MISEC hailed the SHS student for putting his technical skills to good use.

"This talent is from Ahafo Mim Senior High School," a voiceover artist was captured stating in the viral video
