"I want all kids to be able to play," Vivienne, now 10, told TFK. "I want them to be happy."
She promised to work every day for a year, rain or shine.
He also showed off his handiwork to students and professors at MIT and Harvard University, both located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Last year, Kelvin presented his inventions at the World Maker Faire, in New York City.
"Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn't feeling well," Vivienne says.

To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne started a lemonade stand near her home in Marin County, California.
Now, at 16, Kelvin runs a radio station in Freetown.
