NOMSO KANA Director
SANDRA TERERAI Founder Sandra is a STEM generalist who is passionate about financial independence for women through entrepreneurship. She would like to widen the reality of girls and women through exposure to powerful narratives and experiences that would ordinarily not have been a part of their cumulative life journey. Recognising the role STEM plays in development of our African and global communities, Sandra is convinced that promoting entrepreneurial STEM activities for African high school girls and women from different geographies is an impactful way to realise this.
Nomso Kana is a chemistry postgraduate, Techwomen alumni, Technovation challenge coordinator STEM pusher / advocate and lover and registered Medical Biology scientist. Africa is developing at a moderate pace and there is a need for technical and innovative minds to facilitate and participate in the change. Nomso believes technical minds and leaders are compulsory, to investigate and come up with new ideas and understandings for the African landscape and international competitiveness.
