" My professional endeavours as an educational impact provider are driven by a fusion of creativity, adaptability, and systems thinking. The Millennium Fellowship will significantly enhance these core competencies through collaborative learning.

Millennium Fellowship Project: InnHubs - Innovation Hubs

At InnHubs, we believe the best way to learn is through the flipped classroom model. We are developing engaging pre-class media and discussion documents for physical classes. Our research-driven videos are designed to captivate learners, incorporating student responses and content written by intelligent university students, reviewed by professional teachers nationwide, and recorded by passionate university graduates. These videos are accessible through the InnHubs app, creating an innovative and collaborative learning experience for students.

About the Millennium Fellow

I am Raphael Inyang, a materials engineering student from Nigeria, currently studying at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. Since I was 14, I have always been passionate about improving the quality of education here in Africa, especially in Nigeria. Since then I have taught over 1000 students in formal, informal and semi-formal settings. To improve education here, I have had to build a profitable process of ensuring education solves the major issue of lack of innovation in the country and the continent at large, in building this, I have had to build startup clubs in tertiary institutions across country, create a youtube channel featuring students explain applicable concepts of what they were learning to real life and directly work with lecturers and professors to improve the involvement of innovation in university education.
Principles learned from engineering have been beneficial in making this possible, such as problem definition, detailed outlook on matters, constant assumption of failure, and even the ability to clearly state solutions. I aspire to be in a field that aligns with SDG 4 which is "Quality Education"
