Zora Ball, 7, develops game for mobile phones through "Bootstrap" programming.
The best and brightest are showing out all the time in pockets of our country, yet they get little to no fanfair for their accomplishments.

Seven-year-old Zora Ball, is in the first grade at Harambee Institute of Science and Technology in Philadelphia and she has already developed a mobile app game.
