T4 Education’s Post

Where does the Journey to the Future Begins? In my journey as the Programs Lead for the Africa Teen Tech Festival (ATTF), It’s been privileged to witness firsthand the power of technology to transform lives. ATTF is not just an event; it's the heartbeat of a movement dedicated to unlocking the potential of African youth, empowering them to become the architects of their future. This festival, which has rapidly grown into a cornerstone event across the continent, is a vibrant testament to what happens when young minds are given the tools to innovate and lead. Each year, we gather in a celebration of technology, creativity, and innovation, aiming not only to educate but to inspire. Our mission is grounded in four pillars: Education, Innovation, Collaboration , and Diversity. We're not just teaching coding or robotics; we're fostering an environment where young innovators can connect with industry leaders, where they're encouraged to dream big and create even bigger. From immersive workshops to inspiring challenges, ATTF is a launchpad for tomorrow's leaders. As we gear up for ATTF2024, themed: Future Skills Forum: Equipping Teens for the Future Workforce and Entrepreneurship, I'm more excited than ever. This isn't just another event. It's a clarion call to join us in shaping a future where technology is a force for good, where every young African has the skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive. The future of Africa is being written by its youth, and the pen is in our hands. As I continue my mission to empower young people in tech, I invite you to be part of this journey. ATTF 2024 is not just an opportunity to witness innovation; it's an invitation to contribute to a movement that's building brighter futures, one tech breakthrough at a time. https://lnkd.in/dGwfCnHC Join us on June 28th, 2024, at Lagos' iconic Landmark Event Centre. Together, let's inspire, empower, and transform. The future awaits, and it's promising. Be part of building it with us. #ATTF2024 #BuildingTheNew #innovation #FutureSkillsForum #AfricaTeenTechFestival

I didn't participate in SIH 2024. But why? It's not because I don't know coding. That's not the reason. I decided to cancel my participation in SIH at the last moment. I believe that the true objectives of hackathons include: 1) Innovation 2) Creativity 3) Problem-Solving 4) Learning ...and more. But unfortunately, due to the flawed Indian education system, even these hackathons have turned into competitions, just like any entrance exam. In my college, I spoke with many teams participating in SIH 2024 and realized that most of them are simply copying projects from GitHub, making minor tweaks, and then presenting them as their own. So what's the point of a hackathon if you're just going to copy a project? Hackathons have now become just another part of this competitive landscape, where the sole focus is on winning. We've lost sight of what truly matters—learning, innovation, creativity, and growth. That's why I chose not to participate in this hackathon. What are your thoughts on this?

On this International Youth Day, we celebrate the boundless potential of young minds in our digital age. Under the theme "From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development," we recognize the power of technology in the hands of our youth. Young people today are not just digital natives; they are digital innovators, problem-solvers, and change-makers. With each click, swipe, and code, they're shaping a more sustainable future. From developing apps that tackle humanity’s problems to creating online platforms for education in remote areas, youth are leveraging technology to address global challenges. This day serves as a reminder that when we empower young people with digital tools and skills, we unlock a world of possibilities. Their creativity, coupled with technology, has the power to bridge gaps, create opportunities, and drive progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. As we navigate the digital world, let's continue to support, mentor, and amplify youth voices. For in their hands lie not just devices, but the keys to a more equitable, sustainable, and connected world. To all young people: Your clicks have the power to create ripples of change. Keep innovating, keep learning, and keep pushing for progress. The future is yours to shape, one digital step at a time.
