Secondary school students in Borno State just built an AI teaching robot: not engineers, not university graduates but secondary school students.
After six months of training in coding, robotics and artificial intelligence, these young Nigerians built Max Zulum, a humanoid robot designed to teach mathematics and science in communities where teacher shortages and insecurity have long disrupted learning.
This is what happens when young people are given access, training and the opportunity to create.
Nigeria is not short of brilliance, it is short of opportunity.
At SCAAD Initiative, we believe every young Nigerian deserves the chance to be this generation's next innovator.
