about X-WOW
Kids Science Club
X-WOW has been funding Kids Science, aimed at helping the founder, Akpan Friday, to achieve his dream of offering a science outreach to kids in schools in deprived areas to give them better exposure on the use of a microscope, and to help them become great future scientists especially in the field of microbiology.
Akpan Friday
Founder of Kids Science Club
I am Akpan M. Friday and I study Microbiology at the University of Abuja. Since microbes and their activities now affect the daily decisions of everyone in the society, there is therefore an urgent need to envision the development of basic microbiology knowledge in kids at schools and to the general public to attain microbial literacy. In a quest to envision basic microbiology knowledge in kids and provide access to quality science education, I founded X-WOW science kids club. With this, we aim to inspire more young scientists to fight infectious diseases that are not only a health issue but have become a social problem posing a global threat with enormous consequences in the world we live in.
