You’d honestly think, in this day and age, when we’ve got all these matchmaking algorithms for helping rich folk hook up and get celebrity-endorsed food from ghost kitchen to door on an electric bike while still hot, that we’d maybe have some means of bringing the right people on the ground at the edges into contact with the means and the skills and the best intent nearer the root. Clearly it can’t be something originated by a tech bro out of (until a few years ago) California - the literal last thing the world needs is another white guy with ideas about how to “fix” Africa - but there’s gotta be someone who can originate it demand-side, and articulate what they need rather than the other way around. For one, I’m absolutely certain I could teach any motivated human on this planet the basics of how to make technically-adept content for YouTube inside six months, modulo someone to help with language barriers… but I haven’t the slightest clue how to identify someone in Nigeria (to keep running with this example) with the charisma and cadence and delivery chops and other local knowledge necessary to appeal to a Nigerian audience… hell, I barely know what language(s) that person should speak, never mind what music genre and tracks and cultural references they should use to get the attention of the age group they’d want to target. I mean I know how to choose a Nigerian presenter that would appeal to (and, perversely, not threaten) me and mine, but that’s not exactly the same thing, even when we’re talking about something as “universal” as CS instructional content. But, hey, anyone in Africa (or anywhere with similar issues, really) with solid and serious ideas on how to fix that, hit me up.
