http://www.innovatekenya.org I'm a big fan of getting people started younger in the tech space. We don't do enough as a community in high schools locally, and so when I heard about the "Innovate <country name>" project (some history here) and talked to the founder and president of it at MIT (David Sengeh's from Sierra Leone), I thought it might be a great platform for us to do here as well. They're planning an Innovate Kenya, and I think some local guys like Morris Mbetsa are already involved. Two ways to get involved: Help out as a mentor Tell local techie-type kids you know about it and get them to apply Cheers, Erik Hersman www.ushahidi.com | www.iHub.co.ke www.whiteafrican.com | @whiteafrican
