All right, because I know them all.

Where are they based?

How do you read that?

So interesting, ADHD.

My girls are using...They came to the hackathon, they’re using all these sign languages, but they’re being left behind.

They can’t understand, so they can’t...I’m just going to show you. They can’t understand anything, because they don’t have actually the right software. People are not even including them in the conversation, so they’re left behind in Brazil.

Yeah. I went to Brazil, and I met...some of the girls came to our hackathon. They don’t have the normal sign language so they use different sign language. We are leaving people behind, because they cannot understand...

You know that in Africa we don’t have any sign language, one of the things I’m trying to get people to invest. You know that we don’t have our own...

It’s amazing.

Have you met some African Ministers, digital economy ministers?

You are the minister of digital economy?

It’s amazing.

That’s amazing.

Self-driving?

That’s really cool. This like a children chair?

Because they are very smart. They’re very, very smart. I should connect you with them.

Yes. They’re a big organization in Liverpool, and they’re helping children do exactly this.

Yes, superpower. You know that. I’m sure you know that ADHD. ADHD, they are...

Yeah. I should connect you with them. They are a big organization called the...They are helping not children with Down’s syndrome, but they’re creating some people’s superpower for...I’ll show you, too.

I can tell you, because we’re working with ADHD. Have you seen them, the organization?

You can have a hackathon here.

We have something I always talk about in my talks. We try to educate, inform, and transform because I think that if you educate people, you can transform their minds in making an impact. That’s what the solutions are right now, and it’s very exciting. Whoever wants to do this ...

She was like, "That’s why we have many young girls who are committing suicide, and boys, and things like that, because we’re not addressing these." I’m trying to use the SDGs as a way of not only educating people but informing them but also transforming.

She wants to take this further, and so I think that we should use solutions because not only that solution is addressing reducing inequality goal number 10, but also creating conversations around these situations.

She built it herself. I’ve got it on my system. It’s the solution she built, and so she hasn’t found a name for it yet, but it’s beautiful website design.

She said, "I want to create a safe space for young people to go in to code their identity, and I have got the solution right now, and I want to develop this solution because you see, Donald Trump’s wife is talking about anti-bullying but she’s not doing anything about ...

She built a solution. I said to her, "What was the catalyst of for you to do?" She said, "Because in my school, I’m being bullied all the time. At the same time, people don’t like me because I’m very shy," but she’s very smart, very clever, and I said, ...

What I learned from this exercise is that with iamtheCODE, we can impact people within 24 hours. This young lady sat down, she built her own solution, she had this in her heart, this issue of identity. She wanted to come out as a young girl and she couldn’t do ...

She built an application for anti-bullying, but also to tell the world how you can actually have an identity without people bullying you. She created this solution by herself within two days, 24 hours.

I said to the dad, "What’s happening?" He said, "Well, she’s been having identity crisis for quite a long time." I said, "OK, no problem." She sat down and I start talking to her.

In Liverpool, I had a young girl who came. She was very sad the first day she came, so she came and said to me...We invited her to come to the hackathon, and she was having some conversation, and then I said...I found her very shy. She put her glasses ...

It doesn’t have to be Raspberry Pi because what we think, in the next two, three years if we have this, it will be the biggest breakthrough in history on how people are learning really, because not only you have the young girls and the young boys from these communities, ...

The idea.org, as you know, is done by the palace, so all of these technologies are free. They’re being used, but we have now decided to create our own content, our own curriculum, the blended curriculum we want, and we want to put this on a Raspberry Pi, either Raspberry ...

We have the Kano Computer Kits, as you know. We work with them. We’ve been using their product for very long time now. I’m part of the conversation with them all the time, and I have a share within Kano.

They have a nice curriculum, but I would like to go again in Tokyo to see if we can actually have a corporate curriculum for Pepper.

Yeah. They gave us products to use. When I went to Japan, I met SoftBank. They are interested in working with us to do the Pepper, the robot, so I went to see them. I had discussion with them.

We have formal partnership with LEGO. LEGO, the digital director, he’s just left now, but he used to invite me to LEGO offices. He used to sit on our board. He still sit on the board, and so LEGO don’t create partnerships but what they do, they can give you ...

Themed SDGs because we don’t want people to just go and organize SDG hackathons. They may not know how to do impact, but we bring the value in there. We bring the computer kit with Raspberry Pi, we have eight technologies we use.

What is missing is the understanding of social issues because when you live with social issues, you don’t see outside. What we’re trying to do at iamtheCODE is actually to come in and organize hackathons. They are two-days events...

10 years ago, if you asked me if people could have done that, would they care about Africa, I don’t think so because Africa was not ready to showcase impact, but now we have amazing solutions, African inventors who are building solutions.

People like Jack Ma, for example, he’s been benefitting from this network. Facebook is the same. Many organizations are benefitting from this tech ecosystem.

We add value physically by either helping them find funders, we look into the solution they’ve actually build, if this could be replicated or customized for Taiwan, or for China, or for whatever.

What we do, we don’t reinvent or replicate. We go and add value. That’s what we do. All these organizations, for example in Uganda, in Madagascar, all of these countries, we go and add value. We go and tell people, "What do you think is working? What do you think ...

This is sort of apps for Africa started. I travel in many, many countries to go and find the next African innovator. I did some work on climate change issues, business challenges. These created this tech ecosystem, and now we have 442 across Africa where it’s self-run by people.

At the same time, he doesn’t want to just show that, "Americans, actually I just care about you guys," but he also wanted to show that he cares about Africa as well, and he was understanding his culture, where he came from.

This program, in 2009 when President Obama became president, he was the first president to actually help Africans to understand about...to help us tell our message because he’s Kenyan.

Many of them, creative spaces, co-working spaces.

These 442 hubs, they were created around 2007, 2006 times. Kenya was the first hub. They are creative spaces just like C-Work in, was it in Taiwan?

The way Africa is working for us, we have technology hubs, as I mentioned. They are tech hub, they’re 442. These tech hubs, I’m just going to record myself a little bit, because sometimes I say something and I forget what I said. [laughs]

I refuse partnerships, I refuse money, I refuse people dumping me their money, because I don’t want to be anybody’s slave. I don’t want to jump into a bad partnership. My credibility’s very important, so I want to make sure that I want people who will help me. When they ...
