In case you missed it, we delivered yet another exciting Twitter Chat on "Why Female Leadership in Tech Matters".

This was done in partnership with She Leads Africa, a community that helps young African women achieve their professional dreams, and Silicon Cape Initiative,  a non-profit trust established to unite entrepreneurs and develop a vibrant tech sector through partnerships with key stakeholders.

The live event focused on the the barriers that female leaders in the tech world face, and how to overcome these barriers. Our special guests were:

Evelyn Namara, Co-founder and CTO of !nnovate Uganda, Sherifah Tumusiime, Co-founder and CEO of Zimba Women, Ijeoma Oguegbu, CEO and Founder of Beavly, Florence Toffa, Director at Mobile Web Ghana and the team at Unlocking Women and Technology (UWAT), Ghana.

We started with our first question:

Q1: What are some of the most significant barriers to female leadership in tech?

Levers in Heels meets the African Science Academy for girls

[sidebar_widget sidebar_id="sidebar-1" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="1/1" el_position="first last"]

During our recent visit to the African Science Academy (ASA) based in Ghana, our founder, Larisa Bowen-Dodoo, spoke about Levers in Heels, and its mission towards giving a voice to African women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and serving as role models to inspire and educate more females about various STEM careers that they probably do not know exist.

Women have made many strides in STEM fields, but their achievements go disregarded especially in Africa. These women are needed today more than ever to share their contributions and struggles. Their stories are key to inspiring girls into becoming the next generation of STEM leaders.

While role models are significant to the success of young individuals, they play a largely pivotal role in encouraging girls and women in STEM. Having very few women in STEM fields is not due to lack of talent or ability. It is caused by the unfair prejudice against women, something female role models can help quell.

According to Thomas Ilube, Founder and Chairman of the African Gifted Foundation - the charity which opened the African Science Academy in August 2016 to 24 students, ASA was inspired by his desire to find and nurture a generation of young African women with a passion and aptitude for science and mathematics.

"I studied applied physics at the university and went on to have a wonderful and rewarding career in the technology world. I can see the impact that science and technology can have and so I was inspired to explore how I could help drive Africa's development by inspiring and unleashing the next generation of scientists and engineers. My mother was a teacher, in Nigeria, Uganda and the UK for many years, so I was draw to education as the route to realizing my ambitions."

The academy seeks to identify and bring young women from all across the African continent who love science, technology, engineering and maths, into a dedicated environment where they can immerse themselves in the STEM world.

Thomas and his team hope to grow the academy to having over 200 students a year from all corners of the continent.

"We hope that they will go on to great scientific and engineering careers, and related subjects, in Africa and make a real contribution to tackling Africa's  challenges with their skills and special abilities. We want our students to send a message to the world that African women are more than capable of taking their place alongside anyone, anywhere in the world of science. When I am a very old man, sitting in a rocking chair under a tree with a blanket on my legs and someone comes and whispers to me that one of our ASA students went on thirty years later to win a Nobel Prize for Physics, I will be content."

Thomas Ilube was recently named Britain’s most influential black person on the UK Powerlist 2017 – the annual list of the 100 most powerful people of African and African Caribbean heritage in Britain.

Judith Adem Owigar on inspiring Kenyan women in Tech

[sidebar_widget sidebar_id="sidebar-1" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="1/1" el_position="first last"]

Although women still remain largely underrepresented in Kenya’s flourishing tech scene, there appears to be a handful of extraordinary females paving the way for more women in the space.

As American President Barack Obama officially launched the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, tech shero, Judith Adem Owigar, stunned her audience with her journey and the story of her organization, Akirachix.

"Technology is one of the fastest growing sectors in Kenya, yet women are greatly under-represented. I am working to nurture generations of women who use technology to impact their communities and create solutions."

Judith Owigar is Co-founder and Operations Director of Akirachix, a revolution for African women and technology. Through Akirachix' activities, Judith and her team seek to increase the number of women who create technological solutions, and in effect, change the perception of technology by women.

She has also founded a second company called JuaKali Workforce, an online micro-jobs platform that links skilled manual laborers in Kenya’s informal sector (commonly referred to as Jua Kali workers) with employers.

Judith holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and a Master's degree in Applied Computing, both from the University of Nairobi.

• What inspired Akirachix?

"AkiraChix provides training, mentorship and outreach programs to increase the number of skilled women in technology while positively impacting their communities. Our programs are developed to reach young women at different levels, those in primary school, high school and university, those working in technology and those who wish to have a career in technology, making it an effectively wholesome program. We were inspired to create Akirachix to address the challenge of the dearth of women in the field of technology. Many young women are either not aware of the possibilities a career in technology offers them, or are discouraged from choosing a career in STEM due to the perception that it is not a comfortable field to be in for a woman, owing to the fact that STEM work areas are male dominated."

• There are other African organizations helping to groom more women in tech. What does your organization do differently?

"As one of the pioneering African organizations working to increase the number of women represented in the field of technology, we seek to partner with other organizations that share our vision. Our differentiator is that we are based in Nairobi and we have a wide network of members and supporters. Our programs target girls and young women from primary school, high school, university all the way up to early careers. We are effectively building a pipeline of women going into STEM careers. Therefore we always look for ways to find synergies among organizations that seek to nurture the growth of women's representation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math."

• What has the experience been like meeting world leaders and global change makers who have noticed your work?

"It has been a great honor and privilege to be recognized by world leaders. It shows that no cause is too small so long as it is impacting the life of another human being positively. I hope that my interactions with these world leaders inspire young women all over Africa to take up positions of leadership and be change agents within their communities."

• Do you feel supported enough in Kenya’s tech scene?

"We have a lot of goodwill from the tech hubs and corporate companies in the Kenyan tech space. There is definitely a space for improvement in the types of support we receive.We seek not only moral support, but financial and corporate support in the form of internships and jobs for our graduates."

• What excites you the most about nurturing the talents of young women in technology?

"Knowing that by sharpening women's talents using technology we are effectively empowering not just the individual, but their communities as well."

• Do you plan on expanding Akirachix to other countries?

"Yes we are seeking partnerships with people and organizations who are interested in setting up our programs in their countries. Please contact us if you are interested in such a form of relationship."

Esther Ngumbi - Education is the gateway to ending poverty

[sidebar_widget sidebar_id="sidebar-1" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="1/1" el_position="first last"]

According to the World Bank, the quality of education offered within a country is a strong indicator of its economic growth. More African children are being enrolled in schools. However, the quality of education is questionable; day by day being compromised by a deficit of trained teachers and mentors.

Our interview with one of Kenya's brightest scientists and New Voices Fellow, Dr. Esther Ngumbi, takes us on a journey on the importance of mentorship and education in community development.

In 2011, Dr. Esther Ngumbi graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, USA, with a PhD in Entomology. Since then, she continues to be a global leader, motivational speaker and is passionate about issues related to hunger, gender, education, youth activism and sustainability.

Dr. Ngumbi was a recipient for the highly sought-after American Association of University Women (AAUW) International Fellowship in 2007. She has been featured on AAUW's highly acclaimed national research report: Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and was named by One World Action as one of the 100 powerful women who change the world.  

Passionate about education, Dr. Ngumbi has served as a mentor with the Clinton Global University Initiative and the MasterCard Foundation. She has also established the Dr. Ndumi Faulu Academy in Kenya to ensure that every child has a solid chance at getting a quality education.

"I come from a family of seven including my father and mother. I was raised in a small rural village called Mabafweni, in Kwale County, Coast Province, Kenya. Both my parents were Primary School teachers and practiced small scale farming to supplement their small teaching salaries. Because of the meager salaries paid to teachers, my parents had to sacrifice almost everything to keep us in school. I still remember vividly how they would go to collect their pay checks, but eat nothing before coming back in the evening, hungry and tired. I wondered at their ability to be in town, in the midst of all the best foods, with money to purchase that food, but choosing not to spend it on themselves so that we could go to school. This had a powerful effect on me and continues to inspire me and gives me the strength to pursue my goals and persevere against challenges however daunting they seem. I went through high school and eventually college and attained a Bachelor of Science at Kenyatta University. As I was growing up, there were many years in which we almost lost our crops like maize, beans to insects and plant diseases. We also never knew the health of our soils. I therefore felt an interest to pursue a career that would permit me to study these insects, the diseases they cause and discover how we can use knowledge about their behavior to manipulate insect-plant systems in order to reduce their depredations. I wanted specifically to be able to make a contribution to food security in Kenya and our world. After my graduation with a Bachelor of Science, I made another step towards the actualization of my dream by pursuing a Master of Science degree. After graduating with a Master of Science degree, I received a two-year scholarship in the State of Israel, Agricultural Research Organization (ARO). Finally, I pursued my doctoral studies in the United States of America. On a beautiful summer day of August, 6, 2011, I graduated from Auburn University with a PhD in Entomology."

• What about Entomology fascinates you?

"Everything about entomology fascinates me. Entomology is the study of insects, and so insects fascinate me. But it is also a science subject where there is a lot to discover. With entomology, and science in general, you never know what you are up to. You see it firsthand. You witness it first before everyone else. The adrenaline is real. You can never get bored. Every day, you have the opportunity to discover something new."

• What is your research about, and how do you see it being translated to solve global problems?

"My research is on beneficial soil bacteria. I am specifically working with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. These bacteria occur naturally in the soil. The cool thing about them is that they form mutual beneficial associations with plants such as maize, tomatoes and peppers. Some of the benefits they are associated with include making soils more fertile and fending off plant stressors such as insects and diseases. Beneficial soil bacteria enable plants to better tolerate extreme temperature fluctuations and other challenges that come with a changing climate. Furthermore, they help plants grow better thus boosting crop yields. My research is about understanding the mechanisms by which these soil bacteria impart all these benefits to plants.  

For farmers struggling to adapt to climate change, especially small-scale farmers with limited resources, an increase in yield can open fresh opportunities for the simple reason that crop sales generate cash, including money that can be invested in a range of “climate-smart” farming techniques that further conserve water and soil, and sustainably increase production on small plots of land. As concerns about food security increase with the global temperatures, beneficial soil bacteria could be the next key tool for food security, helping farmers around the world conserve water, increase yields and improve nutrition under the changing climate."

• What are some of the challenges you have had to face as an African woman in Science?

"I would say finding women of color to mentor me along the way."

• We can see how passion driven you are as a mentor. Tell us about this experience.

"The future and prosperity of our world depends on the skillful mentoring of each new generation by the one that precedes it. Yes, I do enjoy mentoring. I love giving back through mentoring. I have had amazing experiences mentoring students under both the Clinton Global University Initiative and MasterCard Foundation. My mentees are AMAZING! They are genuinely solving our World’s pressing challenges and they are doing it with GREAT humility. I have honestly learned so much from my mentees that I sometimes think; they are the ones mentoring me.

There is something remarkable about mentoring our future leaders.  Through it all, I strive to be a role model and encourage my mentees to work hard so that they can succeed professionally and positively impact their communities. Having grown up in a community where there were no role models to encourage me to have high aspirations, I am strongly motivated to serve as a role model and mentor and help influence as many young people to strive for whatever their hearts can dream. I am committed to devoting my energy as a professional to making this kind of impact. I also believe that, once empowered, our young people will grow to be great men and women of tomorrow who will come back to our communities and help develop them."

• You are founder of Spring Break Kenya. Tell us a bit more about this.

"Spring Break Kenya is an organization that aims at community integration through the linking of students in institutions of higher learning with the rural communities of the Republic of Kenya in order to build partnerships and develop young Kenyans with the spirit of community and public service. The purpose of our organization is to foster community development through an active approach that engages young university students and professionals in “creating the change they want to see”. We promote the fundamental values of community, public service, responsibility and compassion amongst our young students."

• Does Kenya support Science education?

"Yes, Kenya does support Science education. However, women still face several barriers. Right from childhood, girls are considered to be less intelligent, and thus never expected to out-compete boys. For those that shatter the stereotypes and decide to pursue science, they are faced with other challenges which include; poor quality of Science training, lack of modern laboratories, limited access to computers and internet, inadequate funds to sustain a good Science program, lack of senior women scientist mentors and network of female peers, making it hard to survive in a work place that is characterised by minority dynamics. When Kenya and the rest of Africa have the facilities, calmness, and the right environment to facilitate science, I believe we will make great strides and contributions to science."

• Tell us about the school you have established in Kenya. What do you seek to achieve?

"On a beautiful summer day of August, 6, 2011, I attained what at times seemed to be an elusive dream. On that day, I received my doctorate degree in Entomology and became the first woman in my community to obtain a PhD degree. As I walked to get my degree, I began to cry. My thoughts meandered back to my community in Kenya. I thought of the many children in my community who had the potential to be a scientist like me but lacked the opportunity. It is during that day, I told myself that I would do whatever it would take to give the children in my community, the children from other poor communities, the children in Africa the opportunities so that they can break the poverty barrier, get an education and go out to attain whatever it is that they want to become. Since then, I have dedicated all my passion, efforts, heart, and resources to bring sustainable change in my community beginning with education.

In early, 2012, my parents and I pulled together our meagre resources and established the Dr. Ndumi Faulu Academy. As a family, we believe that education is the gateway to ending poverty. Those who have it have a sure hope of a better future. The school opened doors to 14 children. They studied in a mud class but we were happy to know that we had started giving back. Across four years, we have built eight more classrooms, enrolled 100 more students, built a library and are building a science lab to inspire a generation of scientists. The ultimate goal is to build Africa’s future Harvard and empower as many girls so that they too can break the ceiling and become presidents, lawyers, accountants and scientists."

• What keeps you going?

"The genuine infectious smiles from students attending our school. Every time I go to Kenya and spend time with them, I am inspired to do more. Our motto is BE STRONG and every time I spend time with students they ask me over and over again to BE STRONG! At the same time, the progress we have made from taking small steps inspires me to do more. Every time I go to my hometown, Mabafweni, Kenya, I remember the journey. I look at where we began and where we are. This is the inspiration that drives me to look for more resources to give our young people all they need to reach for their stars and launch to a BRIGHTER FUTURE! Their success is my success! In them, I see a future. For them, I am determined to do anything and go an extra mile!”"

My internship experience at Ghana's National Prosthetic and Orthotic Centre

[sidebar_widget sidebar_id="sidebar-1" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="1/1" el_position="first last"]

Have you ever been in the situation where as a student you watched YouTube tutorial videos and felt that all your academic scales have fallen off your eyes? And that you finally fully understood what your lecturer was going on and on about in class? My internship at Ghana's National Prosthetic and Orthotic Centre made me feel more than that. It sharpened my thinking skills. It generated a burning interest and appreciation for Biomedical Engineering. It generated an attachment. An attachment that would never permit me deserting the field.

The National Prosthetic and Orthotic Centre, which falls under the Institutional Care Division of the Ghana Health Service, is responsible for the design and fixation of prosthetic and orthotic devices for patients. Some of their products include conventional knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFO), cervical collars, orthotic splints and braces, spinal orthoses (corsets), trans-tibial prostheses, trans-femural prostheses, partial hand prostheses, Syme’s prostheses and many more.

NPOC is one facility in Ghana that is greatly undermined due to lack of publicity and mainly poor infrastructure. The centre typically paints the picture of the clichéd notion that the Government of Ghana does not adequately support governmental institutions.

As at now, the centre relies heavily on the use of human strength to cut metals and other materials using hand saws. This is a ‘koko’ (easy) task for grown able-built ‘calloused-palms-as-a-result-of-constant-physical-work’ men, but for ‘slim-macho’ ‘almost-underweight-due-to-engineering young ladies’ like me, it is a Herculean task. We may try to be torch-bearers of the women-empowerment movement by a polite “Oh, I will cut it myself’’ but after three cutting strokes, we are tempted to think that male chauvinists were not too wrong in their assertion that some things are for men only. This scenario applies to other devices and machines as well because anytime I use the oscillating saw, I feel like my very osteoblasts have been induced to vibrate at their natural frequency. It is therefore of no surprise that there are no female prosthetists and orthotists currently at the centre.

Women who work at the orthotic centre have specialty in the fabrication and fixation of particular devices such as braces or corsets, and hence are not qualified to be addressed as orthotists. The making of braces and corsets is considered easy as compared to making prostheses and more complicated orthoses. This is mainly attributed to the manual and strenuous nature of the job, therefore calling for serious consideration on the use of automated and digital equipment at the centre not only to encourage the participation of women, but for easy production, increased safety and the manufacture of better orthoses and prostheses. This setback, however, does not deter me as a woman. It rather challenges me as engineer-in-the-making to design and come up with better equipment that would assist females in such or similar physically-engaging fields.

My job as an intern there was to gain in-depth knowledge on the application and fixation of prostheses and orthoses, and to have an idea about their design. I was therefore challenged as a Biomedical Engineering student, to find solutions to problems encountered in the fabrication of these devices.

One problem is the use of thermosetting polypropylene plastic in moulding casts instead of thermoplastics. Polypropylene, typical of thermosetting plastics, is not reusable and leads to incurred costs when the moulding goes wrong. There should also be a way of making Plaster of Paris (POP) (used for casting) recyclable since a great amount is used and wasted during casting. Concerning the issue of materials wastage, it would be of great advantage if majority of prostheses and orthoses made at the centre were pre-fabricated instead of custom-made.

The centre also runs at a loss for every prosthetic or orthotic device made due to highly subsidized charge rates. This problem may be solved if the benevolence of philanthropists and sponsorship of poor amputees and the construction of an ultra-modern workshop is anything to go by.

Despite the numerous challenges faced by the centre, it offers one of the most excellent learning environments any Biomedical Engineering student can come across. The centre is one of the few institutions in Ghana that have workers structuring an organized internship program for interns. Every week, a mini-seminar on issues in Biomedical Engineering, prostheses and orthoses is organized for interns where resource personnel enlighten us on certain tit bits we need for a successful career. We are also given projects to undertake throughout the internship period. This year’s project involves the fabrication of solid-ankle cushioned heel (SACH) feet and prosthetic lamination adapters.

Through this experience, I have learned to apply Biomechanics, Engineering Design and Human Biology studied as part of the Biomedical Engineering curriculum. I strongly recommend the National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics to engineering students seeking a thorough application of engineering coursework and the acquisition of mechanical workshop skills. Indeed, there will certainly be an attachment to this attachment.
