This 11-year-old girl is the producer and host of Sylvia's Super-Awesome Maker Show, which has gotten more than 1.5 million views on YouTube. She also recently won silver at an international robotics competition and introduced President Obama to a robot she built that paints. But perhaps the most interesting part of her story (and it's hard to imagine anything more interesting than that) is that it's a perfect example of how "it takes a village" and how, when that village comes together, amazing things can happen (story, video): http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/24/science/sylvia-todd-science-star-tinkers-with-the-idea-of-growing-up.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
