A young designer, 20-year-old developer Albert Gajšak, has created an educational DIY kit that allows people to build their own mobile phones and launched his project on a funding platform for creative projects. /VCG Photo

In a promotional video, Albert showed that the phone could make calls, text friends and even care games. "Kind of like IKEA furniture, just a bit more fun," the young designer said. "We are trying to show people that every machine you see was designed by a human being that no different nor smarter than themselves." /VCG Photo

The educational project offered investors the chance to learn about programming and to build their own 8-bit, arduino-based gaming console. /VCG Photo

With components that include a circuit board, GSM module, dual-core processor and a pixel color LCD, people have the ability to assemble a fully-functional phone that could run apps. /VCG Photo
