Any of the pool children of crazy, about physics and chemistry. And weve got a few surprises in store for, you know, science please. 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 korea and its i for sure with nods. I was proficient in physics for about 2 minutes before i could realize that it wasnt for me. But some of my other friends did. Thats 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 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. 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 farmers would be looking for in a decide plant. So number one, of course it has to be assistant to the view. You dont 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 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. 10 minutes late that genetic, makeup of phenomena plants which have been grow 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 varieties in just a few years. While lauras 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, its andrew, its growing in the mind. A lot of biological research thats done with being kenya. And within africa will, at some point, she qualified for my to somebody uses to together with some of her colleagues, laura is part of the buyer. And so metrics hub 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 dont know my know about the subject to the research. Im trying to answer questions, but let you with questions and the fuck, lets each and every time you want to solve a big a puzzle, its order is the fussing at the end. So we find that she needs useful to visit the undergraduate students because probably they just get a few times to know about. But from optics maternity dont 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 so far and few between there arent enough research institutions. And most of the funding still comes from abroad. If im fortunate in to say, but i mean old is in college my, my friends and people who we studied the muscle level is digital and is coming back home, you know, and you know, giving back to the community. Of course Everyone Wants to lose. Think about being not positive, but again we are using these really and bring out thing. 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 the career. A page, the info in symmetric is the logical next step. Who knows what groundbreaking research and recommendations my plight ahead a so just a little sacked for you. Did you know the just of a one percent of the such as world wide a based in africa. Yeah, thats crazy and thats 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, were about to get so i entered and of course i can be trusted to do this myself. So ive been asked to, we have these goals. I actually dont know what were about to do because i wanted to be an experience for all of us. So yeah, this is in same and youre going to be the 1st. All right, so as i just its dead. Yeah, this is ruth to money. Everyone, can you tell us whats happening right now . Was i just look into you, you 20 plus its really cool. This is, this is what it would be like if you just repeat that. Thats 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 sale comes up and then the give us a precipitate to call 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 it. Additional level talks even the necessary level. Why am i really . Yeah. And also special level with young people. Okay. So how does the students react when they see these . I mean im a grown up, i know whats going on and yes, to fax, anything. Yeah. So for kids, it must really do something in connecting them with science. And just as you reaction because the children who just want to run out and just touching. Ringback once would even be the people inside the dispute, which is really happening because once we had inside the bucket, was liquid nitrogen 20 and it didnt store negative 197. 00 degrees. Wow. So one, when i add a port, which i was reading in the truck and then port, what happens now is that the auction, which will forms that, you know, still exist as you see the most recent o pokes of the that all happened very quickly. So lets do that again. Lets do that again. I you ready . Im ready. It is to just, yeah. As well, this is beautiful. So what you can see here is like i can talk to this, this, i just feel like im in some place out of faith. This is one of the most magical experience. Yeah. Well yeah, this is great. You know that actually people who are really making clouds for of the supporting an aging cloud solution. Its called cloud cd. They use different chemicals than what we use here. But this is what its 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 rainfall . No. 80. 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. Its a with sense and chemicals which we split into the cloud to cost rain or 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, caring, chemical compounds such a sofa, sodium and acetone. This aircraft is capable of seating cloud low in high otc relative. Yeah, we have hydro. This material is useful seating a little out to. Its either inside the stall 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. So were 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 its 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 you, when, when, when, when you write equations you should not because equations. But when actually come to interrupt to the, i think now, you know, when its fun, yeah. Gauging you start shifting no dimensions. So what are we about to do . Youve 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 the fees . Yes. So the reaction that the result is a big. Okay, so thats what we call an elephant elephant of 50 something huge, something big. Yeah. So whats your time to show here today is a holly options stick please. So i have soap with me. The green stuff is associate. And what is this is food color . Just products to be able to, to add more besides these so for drama feed huh. Most science with color reactions, blue and red. So im going to put this here, this the winter, which is a medium box and size. Again, i can tell you is something that used to catalyze rather fox, less than the actual here. So this is id like to do to either you because you dont need to tell me twice with us. Can reset it. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Its all the way up to, oh, its very warm, its one of the things was coming to the auction. Mm hm. And remember, we have shown is every option that gives image, right . Its the produces image, and thats 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 know just to demonstrate that show you how the options do. Yeah. And just be able to be able to to get me can i . Im also on my next yeah. Have something close up to me cuz i can just attach 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 which of these instructions and us to find that the, the form that is usually applied informants visual installation. Yes. So thats what this is. Yeah. Okay. I like that. You really just broken down everything, it makes it accessible and to, to what youve 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. Im the entire team here at the funding 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 at the official 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, were also asking ourselves how much power should we really give this technology and couldnt 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 up it go. The gold cup to confuse the toe because shes come with money to the crop. The images, they capture a process to the machine, learning to detect 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 im 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 is wrong in biology, but that is disease with dice best. Thats just a deformed and he can control each other call. It wont Teaching Hospital in the, in a crow i think for sure. And that is also making its to be here on a i platform is helping health care. Why . Cuz the x ray images more effect, it fixed the diagnosis fiesta. You put in families very much as new kids. We are using you guys with a shortage of health walkers, 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 be proud. And whats other way to live broke then weve a public robots. This ones called cello and its develop ah, benjamin notate has programmed aids to be a personal assistant to answer questions or even help you take your medication. At the right time. We can use cello to, you know, access the elderly within the Customer Service environments. You can actually place opposition chavel 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 risk. Generally, people should be willing to ask joe. And then the escrowed 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. Or im so what were 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. Hes 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 abuse. I know you want to see this, so lets 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 have on kind of, god believes everyone should be able to assess computers. So he puts his money where his mouth is in 2017 designed and affordable. Many computers, 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 to change the perspective that 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 minute computers loops and fresh and similar to a memory stick, except its loaded with no mile computer programs, simply plug it into any smart screen and hit press 2, youve got to solve a fully functioning computer. But its because drop category would be, its cost. The fuse did come in the cost around 70. 00, making it about 5 times more affordable than conventional compute test. And youve done that dental students a month that same week go to hunt when a test unit and has been using a m as in. So ive assessed one at the standard and 50000 and its been great ever since because um, i can do all my luck on the, on the tv, literally a print mary board. I write them down. I store my information. The also has my music as well. I can plug in my its, its in it listen to music once in a while kind of gab, as many computer uses relatively Little Energy hills, this will bring down costs even further. Our device is around for support for it, so its quite slow. Its actually willis then most and then you saving bones. So when you look at the body, know that you give to the end user who already has difficulties in fading for the the n. As in yellow, ok, it is why its more efficient to then be the user because a no more laptop uses our own 65. 00. What then a desktop setup. We use about a 125. What about flooring them . Sites like this is what most of the waste in composite lunch. This includes e with like gold, discounted computers. By compressing the desktop technology, its of pocket size devices. Kind of go 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. Kind of will go, but has put used to about 150000000 computers having just received funding to produce smart devices. Kind of got by hopes to scale these production and rich into the market. So from what weve just been, we through it, we know that learning science even as a child can actually be fun. Especially if you loved discovery and experimenting. So after watching and studying abroad attempts on the induct, i wanted to provide the students with a place where they can discover the wells of science outside the classroom and to build a whole center just for this my name is ridiculous. Edward medical doctor and the patient is scientist, and im the co founder of project, inspire and respite to be the 1st disney land for science in africa. I was born in tons of new and better. So im actually, and weve 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 things in tv and, but for scholarship, derek entry from m d to go to a pc of 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 the header to start it, project inspire. And then theres one thing thats really, really was driving me to come back and say, okay, im going outside to get as much as i can. So that when i come back, come, id useful as it can be the, the question of the importance of science, technology, engineering, mathematics next time and not 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. I mean terms, an inborn, raised and educated, at least to my, my 1st degree in medicine. And ive gone through Public Schools and neglect the private school. So i have a good taste of both worlds and being in and ask for, opened up my mind in terms of, okay, it could be that and then became a personal mission to give his experience that i didnt get to growing up and make it demick situation to be on the people who need to have that. So give me my personal to one of the major things that i learned is i did not know much about myself and his experience of coming back a change of environment and working to as really talk to me, likes about what i can. The in project conspire, we have 3 main major programs. One is for kids or
