The Ashesi Innovation Experience (AIX) 2016Jewels of Africa Foundations Inc., in partnership with the Ashesi University in Berekuso (Ghana) and the MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program will be sponsoring nine students from Nigeria and Ghana on the Ashesi Innovation Experience (AIX) 2016 enrichment program.
AIX brings together the best and brightest students aged 15 years to 20 years from across the African continent that have been selected through a rigorous process, for a two-week enrichment program. During this period, AIX aims to enthuse, stimulate and broaden the thought processing abilities of the students through hands-on projects and experiential learning in the field of 'science of design and creative problem solving, leadership, entrepreneurship, robotics programming and engineering' - (The Ashesi Innovation Experience (AIX) 2016, The Ashesi Innovation Experience (AIX) Home Page, The Ashesi University (Ghana).

Additionally, AIX will inculate the spirit of ethics, integrity, leadership and citizenship into the students; and equip them with a mindset to be 'part of a network of young innovators prepared to help change the face of business, technology and leadership in Africa' - (The Ashesi Innovation Experience (AIX) 2016, The Ashesi Innovation Experience (AIX) Home Page, The Ashesi University (Ghana).
