Meet Gaspard Twagirayezu, a Digital Changemaker who is demystifying STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for Rwandan students, shaping them to be STEM innovators of the future!  Gaspard inspires youth through tech fairs, creation clubs and science camps, where he and his team teach students that the STEM field is interesting, fun and can lead to amazing job opportunities in the future. He does all this work through his sustainable social enterprise, Creation Hill. 


Gaspard is the winner of the 2013 Tigo Digital Changemakers competition which included a grant from Tigo and a spot in the Reach for Change Incubator. in the Incubator, Gaspard received trainings in strategic planning, financial management, communications and more to ensure that Creation Hill can scale to reach as many students as possible, and remain sustainable for years to come! Since 2013, Gaspard has impacted thousands of Rwandan students, who have gone on to study in STEM fields in post-secondary and who will become scientists, engineers and IT professionals leading Rwanda's development throughout their careers.
