Renaissance is defined in the Oxford dictionary as, “a revival or renewed interest in something” . To commemorate this day, MINDS will convene Africa’s youth and revive their interest in African Science and Technology. Very little is known about African “science”, how do indigenous knowledge systems provide ways to heal ailments, know how to read weather patterns to plan for food security and even know how to tell someone’s medical condition with no blood tests and examinations? Such indigenous knowledge is typically not taught and unknown to Africa’s youth. This day will thus focus on reviving and creating awareness and interest into the African way of Science and technology and Africa’s contribution to this field.
