Who needs lockers these days now that schools are forgoing books in favor of electronic devices?

The teens no longer need a place to put their cool teen stuff, so genius student Blake Hawkins turned his locker into something more useful and profitable: a soda machine.

Hawkins' machine requires exact change, is theft-proof, and was installed without damaging the locker in any way.

You can read all about his process in the detailed Instructables tutorial he created.

Even without a high school diploma yet, this kid already has a future.
