He learned almost all of his programming and robotic knowledge through evidence and error and videos on the internet, according to his website, Next Era Innovations.
He also created its beginning, called Social Relect, which “combines the popular social media platforms with the web equipment of things ( ITT, providing a new dynamic social experience”.
Wimmer's goal of starting is to simplify the way the smart technology of the house works, with the ultimate goal of helping others.
Wimmer's parents said they're proud of the person their son has become.
“If a door is closed, he will find another way to understand how to meet his goals,” his mother told Melissa Wimmer, CNN.
With graduation just weeks away, Wimmer said he's weighing many possibilities for his next steps.
These options include job offers in and outside the United States, more school or a society that will allow it to increase its start.

A lot of people think I've given up my childhood or somehow lost it,” said Wimmer, “and I tell them I'm spending the time of my life. ”
