Our Projects

What is innovation? which innovations are making cities more sustainable, ending poverty, etc. including a brief introduction about the country we live in.

As a group  we have worked together and have thought of innovation to be  the process of bringing, creating and implementing  new ideas which enable us to bring values to our society .  Also innovation is about one being creative in ensuring that they develop, create and implement new ideas and systems that will enable our society to move forward.

Brief introduction of our country Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone is a small country on the West African coast. It has a total area of  73,326 squar kilometers. It is bounded on the West and South-West by the Atlantic ocean, on the North-West and North-East by the republic of Guinea and on the  East and South- East by the republic of Libera. Sierra Leone has four main physical regions which are: 1. The Freetown Peninsula 2. The Costal Plain 3. The interior Lowlands 4. The interior Plantian.

There are sixteen ethnic groups inhabitant in Sierra Leone, each with its own language and customs. The largest ethnic groups are the Temne and Mende. 

Sierra Leone relied on mining minerals like diamonds, gold etc for it economic base. Sierra Leone also has two main seasons, the raining  season and the dry season. Th e geography includes swamps, beaches, wooded hills, and mountains in the interior. 

The innovations we have thought of in making cities more sustainable, ending poverty etc are listed below.

Focusing on one specific SDG and how innovation offer solution to issues in our area/Country.

The students have worked together and had thought about the specific SDG they are to focus on. Considring the state of education in our country, they have decided as a group to focus on quality education.

After thinking on focusing on quality education, they also thought of innovations that can be related to quality education and they were able to bring up the following innovations relating to quality education considring the state of the country.

INNOVATIONS

 1) Introduction of Phonics teaching in our school system in Sierra Leone. Phonics teaching has not been introduced in our school system in Sierra Leone and they think it should be introduced from primary to scondary school level, then pupils will be able to read and spell well.

2) Training of rural teachers especially those in the villages on modern and resent teaching techinques. According to the students they believe most of the schools in Sierra Leone, especially those in the villages are lacking trained and qualified teachers and even those that are trained cannot afford to work with modern teaching systems/methods. So the students believe if modern teaching training can be provided by NGOs or government to rural teachers in Sierra Leone, then there will be hope of having quality education.
