Nigeria was among this year’s grand prize winners, representing youth from
Chile, Ecuador, Greece, India, Nepal, Nigeria, United States, and Uruguay.
Saviour Okusenogu from Lagos,
Nigeria wants to develop a project to spark an interest in science and
engineering for kids in developing countries by bringing fun and
interactive science experiments and other projects to secondary schools with
hope that they will get kids far more excited than the abstract, conceptual
ways many kids learn about those topics.
This year’s winners created
compelling solutions to help their community spanning a variety of social
issues including education, computer science and digital literacy. Find the
full list of winners here!
Later this year, these winners will
travel to the Nicaragua to learn about social entrepreneurship and development
issues.
Microsoft is also outfitting each
winner with a $2,500 cash grant, and a Microsoft technology bundle (Surface
Pro3, Windows Phone, and Office 365) to help them develop their projects
further.
