Sean Atitsogbe, a 10-year-old Ghanaian-born American with a passion for science, has in recent months put Ghana on the map by featuring on major television programmes in the United States.
Known on social media as “Sean the Science Kid” and boasting over 10 million followers, Sean has captivated audiences worldwide with his deep knowledge of science at such a young age.
According to a post by Vintage & Iconic African America, his remarkable talent is matched by a profound understanding of complex subjects.

Sean’s dream is to become a special kind of medical doctor, a profession he coined himself as a “neurocardio surgeon”, a surgeon who operates on both the brain and the heart.
He revealed that his inspiration to pursue this unique field came at the age of four, which “perfectly encapsulates his innovative and driven spirit.”
Sean’s brilliance has earned him spots on CNN and The Jennifer Hudson Show, where he discussed topics ranging from brain anatomy to the importance of breakfast.

In his interview with Dr Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s multiple Emmy award-winning chief medical correspondent and neurosurgeon, the young prodigy demonstrated his impressive knowledge of the brain, his favourite part of the human body.
Sean explained that if he could change one thing about the brain, it would be to give it “infinite storage.”
“I would make it so you remember anything and everything, and you wouldn’t forget. I could have it downsised, but you would have a pretty sick superpower,” he said.
During the interview, Sean even dissected a brain to show his favourite part, the hippocampus, the section responsible for saving memories.
His surname, Atitsogbe, indicates that at least one of his parents hails from Ghana’s Volta Region.
