Centre for Technology Innovation

Centre for Technology Innovation Interdisciplinary learning community for training engineers through curated independent scholarship, utilising opencourseware, seminars and practice.

In 2012 I got frustrated with outsourcing my company’s technology needs to Asia. I reasoned I can attract some motivated and brilliant Nigerian minds with no technology experience and fashion engineers out of them? My solution: put together a system of instruction that draws from open source courseware (thanks to MIT), add a liberal arts dimension to keep them thinking creatively and present real

world, context specific problem sets as avenues for sustained practice. I added financial and career incentives that activate along a timeline. 3 students and 4 weeks in and I concluded I was on to something. It took another 8 months and we produced 2 new young Nigerian engineers who built from scratch our latest product/platform. What's more? If it works, do it again. This is how the CTI (The Centre for Technology Innovation), an interdisciplinary centre for learning, practice and research in computational technologies was born.
