@UMaTHub@UMaTHub my advise to the students at #UMaT is for them to have the mindset of KINGs and QUEENs. The future of Africa is in our hands, and we must selflessly and innovatively protect Mother Africa!
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub The bottom-up can be achieved through selflessness and patriotism. Especially from Africans in Diaspora, who has access to these technologies and knowledge, must find ways to inject the lessons learned in the first world country back in our society.
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub I can give a summary of the impact of FabLab. FabLab is a workshop where anyone can visit to bring their ideas to reality, or simply 'learn to make anything' as Neil Gershenfeld says. The major impact of FabLab can be seen in Community empowerment
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub we also need to introduce STEM into our educational sector right from the primary level. With this, we will be able to breed and empower real changemakers in Africa.
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub There are lots of areas that needs urgent focus. 1. We have to definitely increase our perception towards innovation. Our annual innovation expenditure should receive a massive boost, because out of it comes all the solutions we need in our society.
@UMaTHub For Africa to really enjoy the full effect of technology, there needs to be both a bottom-up and top-down innovative efforts in our society. That is, between the African citizens and the leaders #UMaTHub
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub compared to first world countries, Africa is still playing catch-up in the innovation. However, the effect of technology is mostly evident in our telecomms and banking sector. Though there is still a huge chasm in Agricultural, educational, health sector #UMaTHub
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub disruptive technologies such as AI, IoT, virtual reality, Robotics, as well as disruptive approaches such as those created by Makers movement (FabLabs, Makerspaces) are contributing to the usefulness of technologies in our society.
@UMaTHub@UMaTHub that is a fact! Innovation is important for growth. Imagine what life without technological advancement would look like! However, this statement also has a negative connotation to it. for example, our rapid growth could be argued to be the major culprit for GHG emission
@UMaTHub Hi @UMaTHub, Thank you for the opportunity. My name is Babasile Daniel. I am a PhD Candidate at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg, where I also work as a FabLab Manager and lecturer. I started the first FabLab in Nigeria GreenLab Microfactory #UMaTHub#Oric

So in the previous week, we @indigo_debate set out to Durian Hub in Imafon Village, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria for the sole purpose of digital revolution for their women. Day 1 wasn't so… https://t.co/6Kmvlrc7ta
