"Studying computers without computers, a rural kid's perspective on the tech industry" with Anita Twumasi-Ankrah

Date: January 27, 2022

Time: 16:00-17:00 CET

Register for the session here!

The Young Africans In Tech program would like to invite you to a session with Anita Twumasi-Ankrah.

Making sure that software is at its optimum in terms of quality and value is what Anita does for a living. She is a Software Tester with an electrical engineering background and was open-minded enough to have changed her career trajectory from engineering to the tech industry. For most of her life, she has been in male-dominated fields. She believes that women can take on a lot of the challenges we tend to avoid because of the fear of failing.

What will be discussed in the session?

The tech industry is establishing its roots in a lot of traditional industries due to the digitization of processes used by these industries. We have arrived at the point where knowledge in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a necessity and not a luxury that can be overlooked. As the world moves in this new direction, we all are compelled to follow, but one individual is left behind: the rural kid living in a small village in Ghana.

This session is aimed at discussing the perspective of the child who studies ICT merely because it is part of their curriculum. There are a lot of children who find themselves in this situation, and some of them are introduced to the tech industry without having seen a computer.

Therefore, Anita will cover the following points in this session:

How she viewed the tech industry as a child growing up in the rural area in Ghana.
The difference between her experience and that of children currently being raised in rural areas.
Do students, especially those in rural areas, consider the tech industry when they think of the professions they would like to venture into?
What can be done to enable children in such circumstances (and in general) to start viewing the tech industry as one worth venturing into?

The event is open to all who are interested, inside and outside SAP.

There will be a Q&A segment in this session so get your questions ready!
