africa in 60 minutes on d w. yeah. and then what's the problem or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every language level learning gym and has to go hello and welcome to the summer to 70 percent. my name is, edith came on me and today i'm coming to you from a place of pool, lots of nairobi. on this episode, we want to find out what steps as dr. young applicants are taking the world of science. here's what we've got really young researches from the punch and to find out what it takes to become an actual science. you will find out why does it mean

to children? i'm 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 is ecology, to understanding and studying the world around us. the question is, what do you choose a career in it? i for sure with nods. i was proficient in physics for about 2 minutes before i realized 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 buy it from much on here as a 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 audit culture in kenya, a 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 have been looking for in decide plant. so number one, of course it has to move. this tend to do view the one to grow up plants, but couldn't easily be attacked by disease as in many days. but also you want to have plants that can produce a lot of yield 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 chain right now. laura and her left team are working on the material disease banana sent 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. the minute the genetic makeup of phenomena plans which have been grow in a controlled environment. the times dna 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 and so 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, it's andrew, it's growing in the mind. a list of biological research that's done with being

kenya and within africa will at some point, she qualified for much. it's a now 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 some of the questions and the fuck, let's each and every time you want to solve a big a puzzle, it's orders the fussy, nothing. and so we find it she made use for him to visit the undergraduate students because probably they just get a few times to know about bank from optics maternity. don't know the application of to prove it. one more in most scientific research is coming out of africa. the opportunities for young researches make themselves a still 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 only is in college my, my friends of people who we studied the muscles level apiece, digital is coming 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 this really and bring out saying, 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 can be a page. the info into metrics is the logical next step. who knows what groundbreaking research and recommendations my flight ahead a so just a little sacked for you. did you know the just was a one percent of the such as world white a 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 grew 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 it to be an experience for all of us. so yeah, this is in say you're going to be the 1st. all right, so as i just get over the. yeah, this is ruth to money. everyone, can you tell us what's happening right now? what did 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 the little bit and then that's the flow

of that. so what is this exactly? what is creating this? so from tyler coffman's when what air raises when, when, when, what at the end of operation hopkins updates. very cool. so once the for sale comes up, i'm going to close the give, i think, precipitate to phone. 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 public inducements for us to practice on the, on the integration level network. which is financially. and i think well, be able to engage children across all of it, additional level spots, even the necessary level. why am i really? yeah, yeah. and also special level,

but mostly young people. okay. and so how does the students react when they see these? i mean, i'm a grown up, i know what's going on and yes, 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 off and just talking you can just once would even be inside the dispute, which is really happening because once we have inside the bucket was liquid nitrogen equipment, which is at this point. and it can start at $197.00 degrees. wow. so one, when i add a port, what do i put it on? the truck and then port. what's happened to notice that the actual original forms that you know still exist. as you said, the most recent, oh how, how does that all happen very quickly. so let's do that again. let's do that. okay . i you ready? i'm ready. it is to just,

yeah, well, this is beautiful. so what you can hear is like i can talk to this, this i feel like i can complete out of faith. this is one of the most magical experience the do you know who have done well, yeah, this is great. you know, the actually people who are already making clouds for of the supporting an aging cloud formation. it's called cloud feeding. they use different chemicals than what we use here. but this is what it's all about. have you ever heard of cloud cd in terms of job countries like new jersey and molly? have use this technique to support cloud formation and increase the chance of rain fall? no, 80 feathers. people must know that the methodology code department does not make

clouts. this is the pre real good see 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 is free into the cloud to cos ring. so how 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 coming, chemical compounds such a sofa, sodium and acetone. this aircraft is capable of seating cloud, a low and high. oh t. yeah, we have hydro. this material is used for seating at low altitude. it's either inside the storm or below. down here, we have products useful, high o 2 cubes. for those we go above this dumb 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. and so we're still here having fun and being educated and just to 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? i 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 be engaged 4 times or not. because when i talk about edition, i have that one, which is the lead to that, which is, which has to be that what does it do? so when we, when we, when you write the page on each of the equations. but when you actually come to interrupt to the, i think now, you know,

when it's fun. yeah. gauging you start shifting, know the mindset. so what are we about to do? you talked about potassium, iodide, potassium iodide and hydrogen higher center and say, okay, what are they and what are we about to go about to me and this one? elephants brush that fees? yes. so the reaction that the result is a big soon. ok. so that's what we call an elephant elephant. it's something you'd something big. yeah. so what's your time to show here to see how the options take place? so i have so please me the green stuff is associate and what is this is food color, just a product to be able to, to add more, besides or for draw these so for drama feed huh. most science with color reactions,

yes. blue and red. so i'm going to put this here, this a holiday, which is maybe the 2 box, 2 sides. again, i can tell you something that used to cut the fox us the option here. i'd like 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 white vs. so if you look at things with comics the auction. mm. remember, tell me the option 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

this is noticed to demonstrate that show you how get you. yeah. is this get able to put it together? i and also on my next yeah. have something called up to me can just touch it to make a full head. yeah. get that idea. oh, the use is this is just uh, gimme a call that mix together to form. um, we just need construction and us to find the, the, the form that is usually applied in for institutional installation. yeah. so this is one, this is, 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 going and we keep having fun. yes. i know that. thank you so much to ruth. i'm the entire team here at 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 go the gold cup to the views the tell because she's come with money to the crop. the images, they capture a process to the machine learning tool to set pests and diseases. so thomas can take steps. preventative krupps from suicide, stomach andrews, konica, and his team from the clara group 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 this on the buyer think with that is disease with dice. best that this day just didn't deformed and it can control each other call. it won't teaching hospital in the, in a cra as official. and the is also making it to be here on a platform is helping health care. well, because 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 fill the gaps 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 leapfrog. and what's other way to live broke then we've a public robots. this one's called cello and it's develop well, benjamin notate has programmed aids to be a personal assistant and for questions or even help you take your medication at the

right time. you can use cello to, you know, access the elderly within the as the most service environments. you can actually place opposition tell a bad to perform, 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 hold on me 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 menu skills. then how do you guys, 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. 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, okay, we have one more innovative to me. he's a young man from uganda, and his actually designs a mini computer, which he claims is more affordable and practical than those of you and i for abuse . i know you want to see this, so let's have a look. access to technology. if it is d h, that is something that still remains a privilege for those who can afford it. no co software engine. yeah, i haven't had of government believes everyone should be able to assess computers. so he puts his money where his mouth is. 2017 designed and affordable many computer, which it calls the fuse to stick. when you look at africa as the appointment, we very much left behind my other nations and was in terms of technology. so what i see eventually is kitchens. uh,

visit the perspective that's people have about africa, but we cannot, you know, that we cannot mix things from our own. so through making things of our own people will actually get more access to these things. the mini computers loops and function similar to a memory stick. a set it's loaded with no mile computer programs. simply plug it into any smart screen. and hit press do. you've got yourself a fully functioning computer. but it's because drop category would 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 dental students a month uh, same week. go to hunt on a test unit and has been using it ever since. i've assessed one at the standard and

50000 and it's been great ever since because i can do all my luck on the, on the t v, which would be a print mary puts a write them down. i store my information. this one has my music as well. i can plug in lights and, you know, listen to music once in a while, i will grab, as many computer uses relatively little energy hills. this will bring down costs even further. our device is, is uh uh, i rolled forward uh so far for it is quite slow. it's actually willis, then most energy 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 why it's more efficient to then be the user because a know more laptop uses our own 65, what?

then a desktop setup. we use about a 125. what will the flooring dump sites like? this is what most of the waste in composite lines. this includes e with like gold, discounted computers by compressed and dec stuff technology. it's a pocket size devices kind of got by wants to minimize his footprint on the environment. so with a smaller device means less material, 100, 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, chiral go but has produced, who about 150 many computers haven't just received funding to produce smart devices . kind of got by hopes to scale these production and brick into the market.

so from what we've just seen with through us, we know that learning science, even as a child can actually be fun. especially if you're loved discovering and experimenting . so after watching and studying abroad attempt, let me and doctor wanted to provide the students with a place where they can discover the world of science outside the classroom. and she's really a whole center just for this. my name is ridiculous. edward medical doctor and the patient, the scientist of the co founder project, inspire and respite to be the 1st. disney land for science in africa was born in tons of new and better set. i'm actually, and we've had a very beautiful growing environment with my siblings when i finished my 1st degree in medicine. so i was thinking, i need to get out of this country and get more exposure apart from just seeing things in tv and buy for scholarship. derek entry from empty to good, replaced in hopes of diversity. so i spent 5 years of my life

when they 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 then there's one thing that's really, really was driving me to come back and say, okay, um i'm going outside to get as much as i can. so that when i come back i'm, i'd useful as i can, the, the question of the importance of science, technology, engineering, mathematics likes them in. and i for them context is that science technology engineering. math is the one that has progressed through money to sofa 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 and neglect the private school. so i have a good taste of both worlds and being in it asked for, 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 his experience of coming back change of environment and working to has really talked to me, likes about what i can, the in project conspire. 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 of kids having projects and science kits. and the 3rd last project is with secondary school kids. and this is what do we boot camps every? yeah, let me throw them problems. it's a outbreak of quiet or how can you use science technology and math to solve that in the practical knowledge. to make sure that within the mix my advice to on the taskbar, i didn't have the confidence in 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 link the cup church should, should do it to come back and grow this content and leap frog you know as well. that's all we have for you today. i hope you enjoy the show and learn 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

way, the new will tell you. we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force. and for the future, the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news
