The SPAK journey started with over 11,000 students from across the nation, writing the National Science Exam in April and 81 students made it to the second stage, the InterswitchSPAK TV competition.
InterswitchSPAK is a National Science Competition organised by Interswitch Group to drive keen interest to the study of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and its applications across Nigeria and Africa.
The competition commenced with the InterswitchSPAK Masterclass, which had top-notch speakers taking turns to interact and share their wealth of knowledge with the candidates.
The Masterclass was an opportunity for the students to meet models who have proven that success is possible, regardless of existing challenges. It also focused on motivating the students on character building and assuming leadership responsibilities in all spheres.
Mr Yinka Sanni led the first session and spoke on “Social Innovation – The Power of Transformative Ideas”, while Eloho Omame who handled the second session spoke on “Entrepreneurship – A Tool to Creating Impact in Our Society” and Mitchell Elegbe (The Group Managing Director of Interswitch Group), rounded off the session with discussions on “Emotional Intelligence and the Leadership Responsibility of Youth.”

The group with the most innovative and viable solution will be presented with the InterswitchSPAK 1.0 Founders Prize for Innovation.
