she calls when we say they're about never getting up every weekend on d. w. hello and welcome to this adventure 7 percent. my name is edith to mind me and today i'm coming to you from a police a fool. what says nairobi on this episode, we want to find out what steps of dr. young applicants taking in the world of science. here's what we've got really young researches from the punch in is to find out what it takes to become an actual science to find out why does that mean? school children are suddenly crazy about physics and chemistry. and

we've got a few surprises in store for you. the now science plays an incredibly important tool in all of our lives, from innovation, acknowledge the, to understanding and studying the world around us. the question is, what do you choose, a korea and it's i for sure with nods. i was proficient in physics for about 2 minutes before i could realize that it wasn't for me. but some of my other friends did it. that's what leslie, not unlike some young kind of research as who we met. they give us a glimpse into what it takes to build a korea in science. my name is laura, and i see today i am a buyer for much on here at the international institute of topical agriculture. i do have a background in medical by chemistry, but i major in scientific research across the board is growing up. i did

enjoy science subjects, my premiere school, i enjoyed science. i excelled at 5, but also enjoy watching uh, scientific programs on this to be like, mindset and sense of stupid. i remember watching them and feeling like i want to understand this things the same way they pass on is explaining them. today, laura works with big data at the international institute of tropical agriculture and kenya. the team is working on decoding the genetic makeup of plants. the ultimate goal is to create varieties which are resistant to devastating pests and diseases where a variety of things that from us would be looking for in a divide plan. so number one, of course it has to be assistant to the view. you don't want to grow up plants, but can easily be attacked by disease as in many days. but also you want to have plants that can produce a lot of views with a state of food security. you want to have plants that, you know, can feed your family and you can still maybe sell time for extra change. right now,

laura and her left team are working on the material disease, banana since the moon this world that is widespread, new east africa, infected thomas can lose between 50 to a 100 percent of the phenomena, help us. 10 minutes late that genetic, makeup of phenomena plants which have been growing in a control environment. the prime cma has been tested to see if the modification was successful. the hope is that the funds will be able to go to improve invitees in just a few years. while laura's familiar with the lab processes from a college days, a job now involves decoding the genetic data to bioinformatics. so by into much of an interdisciplinary field between computer science, biology and statistics. so it presents relative opportunities for young people to tap into this field. because number one, you think it's growing in the mind. a lot of biological research that's done with being kenya and within africa will at some point,

she clarified for my to somebody uses together with some of her colleagues. laura is part of the buyer and for metrics have of kenya and network of young researches who want to build up the field of bioinformatics in the country. so to reach out to undergraduate students. otherwise, my don't know much about the subject in research, i'm trying to answer questions about that. you have questions and the fuck, let's each and every time you want to solve a big a puzzle, it's order is fussing at the end. so we find it extremely useful to visit the undergraduate students because probably they just get a few times to know about bunch from optics maternity don't know the application of to prove it. one more and more scientific research is coming out of africa. the opportunities for young researches to make themselves a so far and few between. there aren't enough research institutions and most of the funding still comes from abroad. it's unfortunate to say, but i mean

a is in college, my, my friends of people who we studied, the muscles never refused to join is come back home, you know, and you know, giving back to the community. of course everyone wants to and is think about in the past, but again, we're using these really and bring out things. yeah. the team hopes that one day they can build their own institution with students and researchers learn and work for laura who is just at the beginning of a career, a page. the info in symmetric is the logical next step, who knows what groundbreaking research and recognition. so my flight ahead a so just a little sacked for you. did you know the just was a one percent of research as world wide based in africa? yeah, that's crazy. and that's according to your next school. so it would be great to see what paternity is that young research. i like laura and have colleagues group in the meantime we're about to get so i entered and of course i can be trusted to do

this myself. so i've been asked to, we have these goals, i actually don't know what we're about to do because i wanted to be an experience for all of us. so yeah, this is in same and you're going to be the 1st. all right, so as i just dead over the. yeah, this is ruth to money everyone. can you tell us what's happening right now? was i just look into you, you try to task. it's really cool. this is, this is what it would be like if you just repeat that. that's the close of that. so what is this exactly? what is creating this?

so from times when, what air raises when, when, when what happens updates very cool. so once the feel comes up and then close the device, precipitate to foam now? no. okay, so this is part of what you do here. um actually tell us where we are and what you do. i hit the science communicate uh on the application level network. so if i sign him, which is fine, and i think well, be able to engage children across all of a traditional level positive in the necessary level. well, i remember the yeah. and also special level with young people. okay. so how did the students react when the cds?

i mean, i was growing up. i know what's going on. and yes, it's to fax. anything. yeah. so for kids, it must really do something in connecting them with science. and just as your reaction is because the children who just want to run out and just touching. ringback once would even be inside the dispute. what is really happening because what we had inside the bucket was liquid nitrogen 20 plus and you can start at $197.00 degrees. wow. so one, when i add a port, which i was reading in the truck and then poured what happens now is that to the actual original form, speaking of the stuff you see the most recent, oh, pokes of the that all happen very quickly. so let's do that again. let's do that again. i you ready? i'm ready. it is to just, yeah. as well,

this is beautiful. so what you guys hear is like i talk to this this i just feel like i'm in some place out of faith. this is one of the most magical experience. uh, do you know who have done it already? well, yeah, this is great. you know, that actually people who are already making clouds for of the supporting an aging cloud formation. it's called cloud cd. they use different chemicals than what we use here, but this is what it's all about. have you ever heard of cloud, city times of job countries like new jersey and molly? have use this technique to support cloud formation and increase the chance of rain for a. for those people must know that the methodology code department does not make clouts. this is that you will get to of course, but we know the physical and chemical processes of cloud formation and green. so we

act on this process by improvement. it's with sensing chemicals, which we split into the cloud to cos ring. so i can, i, i can make the team is about to take off on board the small plane for the cloud seating mission. the plane is equipped with cartridges, caring, chemical compounds such a sofa, sodium and acetone. this craft is capable of seating cloud low in high otc relative. yeah, we have hydro, this material is useful seating a low out to it's either inside the storm or below. down here we have products useful high o 2 cubes. for those we go above this dome to inject them, well, cloud seating is supposed to help farmers feel different opinions on how effective it is and whether changing the weather could in fact be a bit more than us humans can handle. so we're still here having fun and being

educated and roasted just struck me. but when i was in school, i really hated anything to do with science. why do you think it's so difficult for people like me to love the work that you do? you think it goes back to different interest fast, but then again, i also want to come to me on the, the system as a whole bunch of students never been engaged 4 times on me because when i talk about potential edition, i totally relate to that. what you would have to do with it, what does it do? so when, when, when, when, when you write equation or you should not because equations. but when actually come to interrupt to the, i think now, you know, when it's fun. yeah. gauging you start shifting. no dimensions. so what are we

about to do? you've talked about potassium, iodide, potassium iodide and hydrogen hyper center and say, okay, what are they and what are we about to go about to make elephant elephant brush that fees? yes, so the reaction that the result is a big. okay, so that's what we call an elephant elephant. it's something cute, something big. yeah. so what's your time to show here today is how the options take place. so i have to police me. the green stuff is associate and what is this is food color? just products to be able to, to add more besides the for the so for drama feed color. huh. most science with color reactions, blue and red. so we put this here, this

a winter, which is a medium box and size. again, i can tell you is something that's used to catalyzed rather fox best the, the action here. so this is often has to do to either you cuz you don't need to tell me twice. good. that's good. yeah. yeah. oh my goodness. it's all the way up to oh, it's very warm. it's one of the things was coming to auction. mm hm. and remember, coming reaction is every option that keeps image rights that produces energy. and that's how you can feel the world around. and so what do you use this for? is it just for the purposes of demonstrating something or does it have an a value? you should notice to demonstrate that show you how it gets shipped. yeah. and just

to be able to be able to, to get me can i? i'm also on my next yeah. have something close up to me. i can just attach it to make a full head. yeah. get that idea. oh yours is. this is just uh, gimme a call that mix together to form. we just the instruction investing in front of the, the, the form that is usually applied in for interviews for installation. yes. so this is one, this is yeah, yeah. okay. i like that. you really just broken down everything. it makes it accessible and to, to what you said, it is fun. so we keep planning, we keep learning, keep great and we keep having fun. yes. i love that. thank you so much to ruth. i'm the entire team here. that's fun and invitation pleasure. so speaking of how we can put science so good use something that has everyone on edge at the moment is a i or a traditional intelligence. on the one hand, many of us already using ai to help us answer questions or even transfer me to

which is but on the other hand, we're also asking ourselves how much power should we really give this technology and couldn't be trusted? well, we wanted to find out how i can be used to make a positive impact. and we found some good in innovative who are doing just that. and it's going to draw that cup to confuse the toe because she's come on monday to the crop. the images, they capture a process to the machine, learning to detect pests and diseases. so problems can take steps. preventative krupps from suicide, stomach andrews, kanza, and his team from clara agro are behind the technology. why did they get this? they knew exactly what is wrong and if i'm not that they have to glass coffee and try to figure out what is wrong with this and you kind of just deposition pinpoint exactly what to solve it by that. the way that is disease with dice best that's

just a deformed and it can control each other call. it won't teaching hospital in the, in a cra as if you sure, and that is also making it's to be here on a i platform is helping health care. why? cuz the x ray images more effect, it fixed the diagnosis festa. you fucking families very much as new kids. we are using you guys with a shortage of health workers in many hospitals. the developers of the mental health platform once the a i to to feel the gum. the only way we can actually catch up with the rest of the well to sleep frog. and this creates a platform for us to the products. and what's other way to live, bro? cuz then we've a public robots, this ones called cello and it's develop well, benjamin notate has programmed aids to be a personal assistant and so questions or even help you take your medication at the right time. you can use cello to, you know,

access the elderly within the customer service environments. you can actually place opposition tell a bad to perform. um, you know, guide people who come around this of america do, you know, display of prices. this new technology is seen by many as a way to both columbia and create new jobs and kind of wants to have a bite of that. but there are fees that the existing jobs could be as race. generally, people should be willing to ask joe. and then the skilled himself menus. ready then how to use the eyes. how would he, i hope to make your job easy, i need to stop leverage and do stuff. in the meantime, this developers keep pursuing new ideas and solutions they believe can change the fortunes for people in ghana and beyond. i'm so what we're hearing more and more about whether use of a sticking us. perhaps you can tell us what you make of it. what do you use

a full if a tone and have you had any good or bad experiences with it? well ok, we have one more innovative to me. he's a young man from uganda, and his actually designs a mini computer, which he claims as more affordable and practical than those of you and i for the use. i know you want to see this, so let's have a look access to technology. introduce d h. that is something that still remains a privilege for those who can afford it. no co software engine. yeah, i have on categor. believes everyone should be able to assess computers. so he puts his money where his mouth is. in 2017 could design an affordable meaning computer, which it calls the fuse to stick. when you look at africa as appointment, we very much left behind my other nations. and while it's in terms of technology, so what i see eventually is kitchens uh,

visit the prospect too much. people have about africa, but we cannot, you know, that we cannot mix things of our own. so a little making things of our own people will actually get more access to these things. the mini computers loops and fresh and similar to a memory stick, except it's loaded with no mile computer programs. simply plug it into any smart screen and hit press 2, you've got to solve a fully functioning computer. but it's because drop catch could be, it's cost. the fuse did come in the cost around $70.00, making it about 5 times more affordable than conventional computers. and you've done that. they tell students someone to assume we go to hunt when a test unit and has been using it ever since. i've assessed one at the standard and 50000 and it's been great of a sense because i can do all my luck on the on the t. v.

literally a print mary puts 8. i write them down. i still on my formation. the also has my music as well. i can plug in my notes in, you know, listen to music once in a while. kyra grab, as many computer uses relatively little energy hills, this will bring down costs even further. our device is around $4.00 to $44.00, it's is quite slow. it's actually willis then most and then you saving bones. so when you look at the body, know that we give to the end user who already has difficulties in fading for the the n. as in yellow, kind of it is quite more efficient than the usual because a no more level using their own 65. what then a desktop setup. we use about

a 125. what's the flooring them sites like this is what most of the waste in composite lunch. this includes e with like gold, discounted computers by compressing tech stuff technology. it's a pocket size devices kind of got by wants to minimize his footprints on the environment. so with a smaller device means less my $200.00 less material. eventually up after the projects life cycle, when it comes to disposing of the product, you will have less weight in the last 2 years. how do we go about has produced who, about 150 many computers having just received funding to produce smart devices, kind of go by hoops to scale these production and brick into the market. so from what we've just seen, we through, we know that learning size, even as

a child can actually be fun. especially if you loved discovering and experimenting . so after watching of studying abroad attempts many and also wanted to provide the students with a place where they can discover the world of science outside the classroom. and to build a whole center. just for this my name is ridiculous. edward medical doctor and the patient, the scientist, and i'm the co founder project inspire and we expect to be the 1st disney land for science in africa. was born in tons of new and better. so i'm actually, and we've had a very beautiful growing environment with my siblings. when i finished my 1st degree in medicine, i was thinking, i need to get out of this country and get more exposure apart from just seeing good things in tv and buy for scholarship. derek entry from empty to go to a pc of southern diversity. and so i spent 5 years of my life

when i left the country to sweden, i was interested to see what life has to offer out there and had thoughts of staying. but before i left, i had already started project inspire. and that is one thing that's really, really it was driving me to come back and say, okay, i'm, i'm going outside to get as much as i can, so that when i come back, come, i'd useful as i can be the, the question of the importance of science technology, engineering, mathematics makes them enough for them. context is that science technology engineering. math is the one that has progressed through money to so far. and africa as a continent has a lot of opportunities to caption leapfrog to, you know, success that other countries have been tons, an inborn, raised and educated at least to my, my 1st degree in medicine. and i've gone through public schools in atlanta,

private school. so i have a good taste of both worlds and being in the dashboard are opened up my mind in terms of, okay, it could be better and then it became a personal mission to give his experience that i didn't get growing up and make a different situation for young people who need to have that. so give me some, a personal one of the major things that i learnt is i did not know much about myself and this experience of coming back a change of environment and working to has really talk to me. likes about what i can, the project inspire. we have 3 main major programs. one is for kids who are coming up

for 3 years to 14 years. the 2nd main project is to package these experiences that kids have in projects in science kits. and the 3rd last project is about secondary school can. and this is, what do we put caps every? yeah, let me throw them problems. it's a outbreak of quatre, how can you use science, technology and math to solve that in the practical knowledge, to make sure that what's in the mix, my advice to the dashboard in a confidence and us, we didn't have. there's a lot of room for growth and relevance in our content, and we are the only ones that lead to cup church should, should do it to come back and grow this content. leap frog. you know, well that's all we have for you today. i hope you enjoy this show unless something new. i know i did. as always feel free to tell us what you think you can find us on youtube, instagram, and don't forget to talk. we can't wait to hear from you as usual. thank you for

your company today. see you next time. go ahead any by the
