LIONS OF SCIENCE- CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE PROJECTS

LIONS OF SCIENCE is a German registered association and a new internet platform aiming to find and award prizes to Kenyan students with the most creative and innovative projects. Students can submit scientific projects by choosing from different categories like Health, Environment, ICT or Engineering and benefit from the network, engaging with a world-wide audience. The projects should enrich Kenyan society or the international community and contribute towards improving standards of living. A jury will decide on a shortlist of projects. Any visitors to our site then have the opportunity to vote for projects through social media platforms like facebook. The projects and website offer the opportunity to engage with an African legacy of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Africa is a continent of dynamic change. In order to foster self-sufficient, social and economic progress, it needs home grown solutions and scientific creativity. The goal is to encourage a start today, for the matters of today and tomorrow. The spirit of Lions of Science and the website aim to inspire and promote young people exploring the scientific world:More information check here www.lionsofscience.org

For the first time project-applications can be submitted between from 04th March - 08th of April 2013.

65% of the total population of Africa is below the age of 35 years, and over 35%
are between the ages of 15 and 35 years - making Africa the most youth full
