When I was at school, I know there were quite a few kids that could quite easily have done (and some did) build such things. Obviously access to materials was easier, but that's geographical circumstance, not intelligence.

I never said that we didn't have such teens.What I'm saying is that the vast majority wouldn't even dream of doing what he does because they demand 'new' or the latest of everything and get it.They would be aghast at reusing old wiring and bits of thrown away technology.They are just plain spoilt.They don't even respect the education that they do get.
