African Revolution (Sts Week 4)

African revolution aims for global equality for Africa. Africans were first to use applied science in agriculture, metallurgy, textiles, and engineering. Many African plants like coffee, palm oil, and African rice were adopted by Asian civilizations. Africa produces important crops like kola nuts and coffee. Africans also mastered nature and created distillation methods for drinks and beers. Key figures in Africa have developed technologies to help farmers, create medical devices, generate electricity, and more. Projects aim to conserve biodiversity, develop biotechnology, secure indigenous knowledge, and more through 12 clusters. However, reducing financing, poor infrastructure, low literacy and lack of women in science are major obstacles to growing science and technology in Africa

AFRICAN

REVOLUTION
• What is African revolution??

It is the fundamental basis of the African revolution and it is global equality for
Africa.

FIRST TO USE APPLIED SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY


• metallurgical science
• textile and engineering industry
• ancient natural curses
• field science
ASIAN CIVILIZATION AND CULTURE ALSO ADOPT THE VARIETY
OF AFRICAN PLANTS:
INCLUDING:

COFFEE
PALM OIL
AND AFRICAN RICE AND OTHERS

African produces “kola nuts” and coffee in Ethiopia, a popular stimulant and
basis for popular cola drink.
• “kola nuts” Africa is recognized for the production of kola nuts and coffee
in Ethiopia. Kola nuts are a stimulation that is mostly found in west Africa
and it’s the basis of the popular cola drink

• African also,
- master the art of nature.

They also created,


- distillation methods based on the fermentation of drinks and brewing of
beers in various African areas.
• Key figures:

Jamila Abass
• The initiative assists subsistence farmers in transitioning to commercial
farming by utilizing mobile technology to provide real-time information and
promote collective action.

• Arthur Zhang
• Created the first handheld medical computer (cardio pad tablet)
• Kelvin Doe

• Had build a battery capable of powering the neighboring homes.

• Also created his own community radio station, which includes a radio
transmitter, sound amplifier three – channel mixing microphone receiver.
• William Kamkabwa
• Created an electricity-generating windmill out of spare components and
waste materials.
• He also has an autobiography entitled “The kid who tamed the wind”.
This includes research projects organized into 12 “clusters” each with a specific
goal:

• conserving and using biodiversity sustainability,


• developing biotechnology, securing and using Africa’s indigenous knowledge.
• developing sustainable water and energy sources
• combating drought and desertification.
• building manufacturing engineering capacity,
• and adopting new information technologies.
• The most severe obstacles impending the growth of science and technologies in
Africa

• Continuous reduction in financing


• Poor infrastructure
• Low literacy, and scarcity of women in science.

STEPHEN AGENG (Director of the Nairobi-based African academy of sciences)


“Declaring the year for science innovations is an important beginning, but will require
strong backing so that good showcases and practical scientific work is brought to the
people’s attention”
