In Access to the Right Tool, Rushton features Jehiel Oliver. He started Hello Tractor, Inc. in Nigeria to help farmers get access to tractors. This helped farmers do in one day what would normally take 40 days to do manually.
Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“Do you know people who work hard, but are missing something that would allow them to be more (or much more) successful? What challenges do you see in your community? If you identify a need, would you take time to brainstorm with others interesting ways of addressing that need?”
It is so important to have the right tools for the job you are doing. It is always amazing when technology can help people have a better life. I think about how much this will change the lives of so many people in Nigeria. It would interesting to have students brainstorm ideas for their own community.
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
