Nigeria is a unique country in all ramifications, a country blessed with many natural resources in terms of smart and intelligent people that excel in their chosen career.

According to Emeka Okoye who is part of the convener and a tech enthusiast, a village school in Akwa in Anambra State has broken the norm to emerge as one of the most gifted sets of kids ever seen. The school was said to be located in a typical village with no access to internet, computers, and electricity, they have made some amazing and interesting discovery, part of a village school innovation that has never heard "STEM" or "JETS" are:

1. Electricity Generator powered by water
2.Waste Digester
3.Torch from potatoes.
4. Rocket Launcher


The generator generates 610 watts of electricity and it has been tested for about 5 hours, the most amazing thing about this generator is that it is powered by water, a discovery that none has ever discovered ever in the world. The digester breaks waste including plastics into different useful and valuable components that can be used by for other things, they also make locally made batteries from discarded Dettol bottles. Each cell generates more than 3 watts of electricity. These are some of their works that are showcase for the exhibition.

Each of these village-made batteries generate 2.33v of electricity. So that container has 23v in all.

5. A torchlight powered by potatoes. It was made in a school that doesn't have beautiful classrooms

The potatoes generate more than 4 volts of electricity. It can charge a feature phone.

According to Mr. Okoye, the kids have never heard about the fourth industrial revolution. They have never even heard about the first one that says a lot about them, they definitely need to be groomed and catch young.
