Know Who Was The First Female Black Scientist.

Dr.Marie Maynard Daly was an American biochemist. She was the first African-American to receive a Ph.D. from Columbia University and the first African-American woman in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry, 1947.

Born, 16 April 1921, Corona, New York, United States she earned the Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry at Queens College in 1942, Daily continued her studies at New York University where she completed her Master's degree in only one year.

Who was the first Burundian Scientist woman? How many scientists does Burundi have? Or how many girls are enrolled in postsecondary or in tertiary education in science and technologies fields in Burundi? Would they stand up, join us and take action to reveal the strength of girls and women in STEAM careers?

Part of John C and K International University Foundation' s advocacy is ensuring that girls and women in science and technology, engineering, arts and mathematics ( STEAM) are recognized for their contributions.

In honor of Black History Month, at the occasion of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, an annual observance adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to promote the full and equal access and participation of females in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields, to be celebrated February 11 of every year , we want to acknowledge these pioneering scientists whose curiosity, determination, and brilliance helped light the way for other women and girls to follow in their footsteps.

Menya Ninde Muscientiste Wambere w'umwirabure Wumukobwa .

Dr.Marie Maynard Daly yari umunyamerika w’ibinyabuzima.

Niwe mukenyezi wa mbere wumwirabure muri amerika yaronse impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga muri chimie, 1947 muri kaminuza ya Columbia.

Yavutse, ku ya 16 Mata 1921, i Corona, muri New York, muri Amerika yaronse impamyabushobozi ya baccalaureat kuri Queens College mu mwaka wa 1942, Daily yabandanije amashure yiwe muri kaminuza ya New York aho yarahejehe ivyirwa vy' impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga mu mwaka umwe gusa.

Ninde mukenyezi wa mbere w'umurundikazi yaronse impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga muri chimie? Canke u Burundi bwoba bufise abahanga bangahe babigeme muri sciance, abakobwa boba bakurikirana ivyirwa vya science n'ikorana buhinga muri za kaminuza boba bangana gute?

Haguruka, dusange kandi fate ingamba zo kwerekana ububasha bw'abakobwa nabagore mubikorwa bya STEAM.

Bimwe mubikorwa vyunganira John C na K International Foundation Foundation ni ukwitwararika ko abakobwa n’abagore mu bumenyi n’ikoranabuhanga, ubwubatsi, ubuhanzi no mubiharuro (STEAM) bamenyekana kubera uruhare rwabo.

Mu rwego rwo ukwezi kwahariwe amateka y’abirabura, mu rwego rwo guhimbaza umunsi mpuzamakungu wahariwe abakobwa n’abagore mu muma science, umunsi ngarukamwaka wemejwe n’Inteko rusange y’umuryango mpuzamakungu hagamijwe guteza imbere ubwuzuzanye n’uburinganire bw’umukobwa n'umukenyezi bari mwikoranabuhanga, ubwubatsi n’ibiharuro , buri kwezi kwa Ruhuhuma igenekerezo rya 11 ya buri mwaka, dushaka gushimira aba bahanga bafise ishaka, kwiyemeza, n'ubwiza bwabo vyafashije gucira inzira abandi bakobwa nabagore bagakurikirana inzira zabo.

Hello Burundi!!!

African Leadership University (ALU) in Rwanda helps to build the skills that a young leader and entrepreneur will need for the future. Harness the characteristics essential for creating a mission-based life of impact and purpose.

If you have admission at ALU you may apply for scholarships at MasterCard Foundation Scholar Program.

ALU | Own your Future - ALU Students choose ALU because they want hands-on real world experience led by some of the world’s most innovative educators.

Education, New African: Current global trends in education point to a shift towards creativity and innovation. Why is this of such great importance?

Prof. Muchie: Inevitably it is through creating innovative products to sell to the whole world that we will be able to generate more wealth and develop our economies.

So where does Africa start?

Africa should start with its children. The whole educational system on the continent needs to be revamped and developed into an African-centred one. We need to do away with the “David-Livingstone-discovered-the-Victoria-falls” type of education.

The content of education is therefore extremely important. It requires support for African publishing houses, to produce and innovate African-centred books and the curriculum, which put African children in touch with African success stories, other than Snow White. Our children need to be taught that Africa is the cradle of civilisation and was behind the creative wonders of antiquity, until that creativity and innovation was interrupted. We need to teach our children of these great achievements, such as the construction of the great pyramid of Giza – which to this day, still confounds scientists.

The evidence of Africa’s greatness is everywhere for our children to see. They only see [images of] the architecture of the Nubian civilisation and the great pyramids. They also know very little about the artistic creativity of the ancient Nok in Nigeria – a civilisation that predated Jesus by centuries. Timbuktu is another, and there are the bronze works of Benin. People often forget or simply do not know that the first university in the world was African – the Al Karaouine University – founded by an African woman in Fez, Morocco in 859 AD. I am not the one saying so. The Guinness Book of World Records says so. And the second university in the world was also African – Al Azhar in Egypt, built in 969 AD, which still exists today. Europe saw the lecture halls of a university a full 229 years after Africa; the University of Bologna in 1088 AD.

How can this be implemented in today’s world?

The emphasis must be on critical thinking and problem-solving. Apart from giving the current and future generation a strong historical foundation, the next step should be to introduce an emphasis on creating stuff, making stuff, selling stuff, and solving problems. And that must begin at the stage of early childhood learning.

African education should position itself in that space as early and as quickly as possible. Knowledge is now available on the internet at a touch of the button. We should invest in the latest tools.

The rest involves applying that knowledge, in order to create, make, innovate, and sell. But innovation requires the seamless cooperation of governments, schools, universities, the private sector, research laboratories and financial institutions.

But is there anything wrong with the current educational and innovation systems in Africa?

It’s colonial. They are steeped in the image and knowledge systems of the colonialists and need to be revamped. They reinforce supremacist thinking which still makes Africans feel or grow up thinking other races are better and can innovate better than them. There is a need to re-introduce African knowledge systems, as well as the use of African languages into education systems.

There are serious deep-rooted challenges around that. What can Africa do?

Africa needs to unthink the unthinkable. We need cultural liberation and that calls for thinking deeply outside the box, and one way to achieve that is for our education curriculums to be rooted in unearthing and promoting the great scientific and other contributions Africans have made in the past. And for these to be accepted as modes of learning and training for new generations.

Africa must radically redesign and re-engineer its education to promote the true origin of all the sciences and arts from Africa. There must be a deep emphasis on creativity and innovation. The historical perspective, including a real African spirituality, should be the foundation stone.

People often ask, what happened to Africa, given all its past greatness?

What happened to us is 500 years of destruction, concealment of African achievement and the generation of false narratives about Africa, to support and justify the destruction. This has not stopped. Then there is the promotion of a white saviour narrative. These are all tools of domination and oppression. But the game is changing.

How are we going to achieve all these education and innovations objectives if universities and even the African Union are still going around seeking funds from the West?

That has to change. We all know that he who pays the piper calls the tune. Indeed some European institutions do indeed have good intentions and come in the spirit of mutual cooperation. Others do not. This is why it is imperative for us Africans to build our own resource capacities to fund our core projects and innovations.

What is the way forward?

African economies are growing. More millionaires and billionaires are being created. They must invest in education, research, creativity and innovation. It will surprise you that in America and various places, it is government and private funding of creative research institutions and military research that has produced most of the technological marvels of today.

Many entrepreneurs have invested in funding research at universities, which has then been applied to practical problems in society. African entrepreneurs should actively pursue that pathway. The ones that are best suited to developing products that solve the problems of Africa are homegrown creative and research institutions. They must be incubated locally. A one-size-fits-all approach, designed elsewhere, does not work well in Africa.

Like the structural adjustment programmes of the IMF?

Correct for 10 points. You have made my point.
