The Innovate Kenya Competition 2013. ( Empowering Kenyan Youth to solve pressing challenges within their own communities.)

by lanredahunsi
written by lanredahunsi

Appplication Deadline: May 12 2013

Innovate Kenya: Empowering Kenyan Youth to solve pressing challenges within their own communities.

Identify a local problem and think up a local solution

The Innovate Kenya competition is looking to identify and support innovative solutions to issues within the fields of Health, Energy, Education, Agriculture, Transportation, Telecommunications, Civic Media, and Engineering in Kenya.

The innovation challenge will encourage and help Kenyan students create prototypes of their solutions while providing them with capital, mentorship and other resources during the process.

We are not only interested in solutions to big problems. Important change can happen on a small scale, and even the biggest projects begin with small steps. The most important change a country can achieve—something the Innovate Kenya project looks to inspire—is towards a creative and innovative mentality. Innovate Kenya is about doing just that.

innovate-kenya-competition

How it works

Any Senior Secondary School in Kenya can nominate up to two teams of 3-5 students as finalists for the competition. Up to 5 teams will be selected by an internationally acclaimed panel of judges to receive up to US$ 500 each to make a prototype of an engineering solution to a well-defined local problem over a 2 month period.

The finalists selected along with our Action Awards by the judging panel will be funded to further develop their prototypes. Teams will need to provide details of how the prototype will be developed and why they are well suited to accomplish the project. Each team will be assessed based on the recommendation from the school nominating them.

At the end of the competition cycle, up to two finalist teams may be selected as winners. Each winning team will receive up to US$ 1,000 to further develop their engineering prototype. Funds can be used towards buying materials and machining costs. The award price is not meant for personal use of team members and must be used only for the project.

Official Rules

  1. Innovation solutions must attempt to tackle problems in the fields of Health, Sanitation, Energy, Education, Agriculture, Environment, Transportation, Arts & Design, Telecommunications, Civic Media, and Engineering.
