STEM simulated environments for students in Cameroon

African startups:

I totally get that many must rely on prize money or grants to get going. But be careful not to become a grantpreneur, using grants and not customer revenue to sustain your business in the long term.

Today was a great day in the Littoral Region. Students from various secondary schools created amazing games and apps using MIT's Scratch platform and presented them before a Jury I was part of. It was just amazing to see the innovation and creativity of these students. I sponsored the prize which went to the youngest team, made up of Form 3 students and all of them were girls. They created a beautiful game. Congratulations to the Littoral ICT and Csc Teachers Association for putting this competition together that gives a space for these young minds to be creative.

In Cameroon, high school students learning SQL have to use Microsoft Access which to me is a very hacky solution. So I started building an Sqlite UI wrapper which I believe is far easier to use and will really get the students to learn better and practice better with a minimalistic interface. Below is a sample screenshot and yes I am using the idea of cells from JupyterLabs. I think it'll be fun for students to write their queries in a cell and run them to see what the query does. Hopefully by next year all schools in Cameroon migrate to this software.

We need girls in technology. This is exactly what I have been doing. Today we looked at Excel and how powerful a tool it can be.

[Ndahi @ndahi237]

Today I had the pleasure of meeting the Regional Delegate of Secondary Education for the South West Region and also the Regional Inspectors of Computer Science and ICT to discuss the ways in which we can promote digital learning and how we can innovate our education system with AI.

At this point I wanted to see how far I can push this. So I did another transaction with 300K and guess what, UBA credited me with 30 million FCFA. A normal person will just buy Bitcoin and enter the wind. But since I am not normal, I wanted to wait and see how long it'll take UBA Bank to notice this bug. Normally I imagined it should happen within hours but this wasn't the case.

[Ndahi @ndahi237]

In my mind I was like this cannot be real. So I did another transaction and this time I tried with 30K FCFA.
Within the same 4 minutes, UBA Bank credited me with 3 million FCFA.

[Ndahi @ndahi237]

After the 10k was debited, the transaction failed and within 4 minutes, UBA Bank did a reverse transaction but instead of the 10k, they credited my account with 1M FCFA.

[Ndahi @ndahi237]

So this happened 3 days ago. I don't use this account often, and I wanted to deposit money into a prepaid card. 10,000 FCFA. The money was debited as I'd expect but something unlikely happened.

[Ndahi @ndahi237]

A bug in UBA Banks platform multiplies your money by 100. So if you do a transaction of 10,000FCFA, you get 1 Million FCFA in return. @UBAGroup
This is the story of how I discovered this.
Ps, this account had like 3m FCFA in it and within 30 minutes, it was already at 30+ million FCFA.

[Ndahi @ndahi237]

@minfi_cameroun You should take your money back from whoever you outsourced the project to build this platform to.
