Nana Kwame considers himself firstly as a man of faith, a hard worker and a people person. He has served as a project Committee head for two student bodies the National Society of Black Engineers-Ghana Chapter and Mechanical Engineering Student Association. In 2015, he and a friend started an initiative called Basketball Clinic Ghana: Basketball 4Change, with the aim of providing life skills learning opportunities for youth, through sports. The initiative still runs to this day with continued impact to youth in his community. In the near future, Nana Kwame aspires to become a manufacturing engineer and founder of a multinational conglomerate like General Electric, producing products and systems that meet the needs of the African people and the world at large. Nana Kwame is passionate about science, technology and art, and hopes to redesign the Ghanaian educational system by developing the interest of students in the Junior High and Senior High School in STEAM, so they can remain relevant in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
