Nigerian student wins Microsoft social good contest.

Microsoft has announced the result for the 2015
Youth Spark Challenge for Change, a contest that
asked young people around the world to submit
 ideas to address social issues through technology
in their communities.
Saviour Okusenogu from Lagos,was among 2015
grand prize winners. Other winners are from
Chile, Ecuador, Greece, India, Nepal, United
States, and Uruguay.
Saviour Okusenoguria wants to develop a project
to spark an interest in science and engineering for
 kids in developing countries by bringing fun and
interactive science experiments and other
projects to secondary schools with hope that they
will get kids far more excited than the abstract,
conceptual ways many kids learn about those
topics.
This year’s winners created compelling solutions
to help their community spanning a variety of
social issues including education, computer
science and digital literacy. Find the full list of

Later this year, these winners will travel to the
Nicaragua to learn about social entrepreneurship
and development issues.
Microsoft is also outfitting each winner with a
$2,500 cash grant, and a Microsoft technology
bundle (Surface Pro3, Windows Phone, and Office
365) to help them develop their projects further..
