The Ms Geek Africa competition, an annual event that showcases innovative solutions by girls in science and technology, is set to resume in April 2023 after being postponed due to Covid-19. The competition seeks to inspire young girls to take up STEM subjects and ultimately pursue careers in male-dominated fields. The initiative also promotes the culture of free expression and self-reliance. The competition was initiated in 2014 as Ms Geek Rwanda before it was expanded to all Smart Africa member states as Ms Geek Africa in 2017, with 7 finalists slated to compete in #TAS2023 girls. The initiative is spearheaded by Smart Africa Secretariat and Girls in ICT Rwanda. Transform Africa Summit 23 is thrilled to host one more time the Ms Geek Competition.
