Have an amazing idea for<br />

an invention or innovation<br />

that can change the world?<br />

Don’t wait! Apply for funding<br />

and courses available to young<br />

people, and get it started.<br />

Who knows, you could be<br />

the next Zuckerberg...<br />

Back in the day, the usual order of things went<br />

something like this: go to school, get a degree,<br />

and work for a company. While there’s nothing<br />

wrong with the tried-and-tested way of doing things,<br />

today’s generation of kids and teens are breaking the<br />

mould and making an impact on society. You could<br />

have an amazing idea for a business, or innovation,<br />

and you might just need a little help to jump start it.<br />

Innovative Ideas<br />

Just ask South African Ludwick Marishane. He was<br />

only 17 when he invented DryBath. As he puts it, his<br />

idea was born from something we’ve all experienced:<br />

pure laziness. He didn’t want to have a bath so he<br />

came up with a game-changing alternative. DryBath<br />

is a germicidal gel that eliminates the need for water<br />

when bathing. Take a moment to think about the<br />

impact it could have on people who live in areas<br />

with no access to clean water. Or how it could<br />

benefit the city of Cape Town, which is currently<br />

going through a major water crisis.<br />
