18-Year-Old BUK Prodigy Creates Remote-Controlled Water-Powered Rocket

Bilal Mustapha, an 18-year-old first-year Computer Engineering student at Bayero University, Kano, has achieved an impressive feat by fabricating a water-powered rocket capable of reaching altitudes between 300 to 1,000 meters at speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour. 

Using plastic bottles and other local materials, Bilal utilized online resources, particularly YouTube, for his research and development. In addition to the rocket, he also created a car that can move 20 meters via Bluetooth control.

The Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University, Prof. Sagir Adamu Abbas, has promised to honor Bilal for his remarkable breakthrough in research, recognizing his innovative contributions to engineering.

Bilal's accomplishments serve as an inspiration, showcasing the potential of young talent in Nigeria.
