THE DAY IS COMING SOON
IMAGINE WHEN AFRICAN PEOPLE CAN SOLVE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH ARRIVE WHEN CHALLENGED

“It was a hot summer day in the small village of Kinshasa, and eight young inventors were hard at work in their makeshift laboratory. Their names were Chiku, Lila, Nkosi, Zuba, Amina, Kofi, Asante, and Fatima, and they were all determined to create a machine that could analyze crop samples and compare their nutritional values.
They had been working on the project for months, spending every spare moment tinkering and experimenting with various prototypes. At times, it seemed like an impossible task, but the team was driven by a shared passion for science and a desire to help their community.
As the sun began to set, Chiku, the team leader, called a meeting to discuss their progress. “We’ve made some good headway today,” he said, “but we still have a long way to go. We need to keep pushing ourselves and thinking outside the box if we want to succeed.”
The others nodded in agreement, and they spent the next few hours brainstorming and coming up with new ideas. Finally, after much trial and error, they were able to cobble together a working prototype.
Excitement filled the air as they tested the machine, and to their delight, it seemed to be functioning perfectly. The team was thrilled, and they couldn’t wait to show their creation to the world.
But as they prepared to unveil their invention to the community, they were met with skepticism and doubt. Many people simply couldn’t believe that a group of young African inventors could create something so advanced and sophisticated.
Undeterred, the team began to reach out to local farmers and offer demonstrations of their machine. They traveled from village to village, determined to spread the word and convince others of the value of their invention.
Slowly but surely, their efforts began to pay off. Farmers who had once been skeptical began to see the benefits of the machine, and word of the young inventors’ creation began to spread.
As the demand for their machine grew, the team was faced with the challenge of scaling their production. They worked tirelessly to improve their design and streamline their manufacturing process, and before long, they were able to meet the needs of farmers all across the region.
In the end, their hard work paid off, and their invention became a huge success. The young inventors became heroes in their community, and their machine went on to help farmers all across Africa improve the nutritional value of their crops.
But for the team, the real reward was the knowledge that they had made a difference in the world. As they looked back on all they had accomplished, they knew that they had achieved something truly special, something that would have a lasting impact on their community and beyond.
Years later, as they sat in their now state-of-the-art laboratory, the team couldn’t help but reflect on their journey. They remembered the long days and late nights spent in the lab, the moments of frustration and doubt, and the feeling of pure elation when they finally succeeded.
But most of all, they remembered the sense of purpose that had driven them from the very beginning. They had set out to create something that would make a real difference in the world, and in the end, that was exactly what they had done.
As they looked out at the fields of healthy crops stretching out as far as the eye could see, the young inventors knew that they had truly left their mark on the world. And they were proud to have played a small part in improving the lives of so many people in their community.
Despite all they had achieved, the team remained humble and grounded, always remembering the hard work.”

Mechanical/Solar Engineer, Prof. Oku Singer
PS: When I was a young boy I used to have fanciful dreams like this about what I would do some day when I was grown. My fourth grade teacher asked me several times what I wanted to be when I grew up and I always promptly told her that I would become a “mechanical engineer”. I remember that she assigned me the task of wiring the lightson a model of Los Angeles harbor using batteries, wire, and a flashlight bulb. The model was built by other classmates . That light was a smashing hit when our parents came to meet with our teacher on parent-teacher day. I was so proud!
