Thomas Suarez
Another brainy techie is Thomas Suarez, a 6th grader from South Bay in Los Angeles. The smart kid claims to have been inspired by the late Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and Pixar. Apple's Software Development Kit, which was released in 2008, motivated him to formulate unique applications. Thomas eventually started selling these creations and launched a club for schoolmates to let him share programming skills. As one of the youngest developers, Thomas Suarez describes a noble vision: Young students represent a technology resource and should there before be allowed to share their knowledge to enhance the school's program in information technology.

The duo managed to purchase sophisticated equipment costing £ 1,400 that was earned from repairing friends' computers. Another Five Geniuses
