DeSci Youths
DeSci Youths is an initiative with a mission to nurture and empower the younger generations around movements of positive change in the next iteration of the web.
                    THE PROBLEM AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Scientific brain drain in Africa – Africa is losing vast brain power and practical skills gained through science education, exposure and training. This is due to the inefficiencies in our academic and research institutions.
To curb this, we begun by creating an aggregation platform that showcases impact projects in the web 3 ecosystem and an update forum for Decentralized Science. This platform serves as a hub for young scientists to discover impactful projects that align with their interests and model local solutions.
