Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics all have a role to play in building more sustainable fishing practices, as demonstrated by FishLove (FishCredit), a Nigeria-based project awarded seed funding through the Frontiers programme that applies these technologies through storytelling videos, animations, and games to identify challenges and opportunities to support Indigenous fish farming communities.

The Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NIMechE) Lagos proudly announces the election of Frontiers alumni, Wasiu Oyedepo, as the General Secretary for the engineering year 2023/24.

FishLove (FishCredit) led by Frontiers seed funding awardee, Wasiu Oydepo, as part of the project's evolution, are seeking partnerships with community members who are working in the following areas: Carbon credit purchase from smallholder farmers. African market operators in Europe and the Middle East, who are interested in Nigerian fish processed in sustainable environmental methods.

Frontiers Seed Funding awardee, Wasiu Oydepo, is leading a series of impactful digital media campaigns under the banner "Understanding Degradation: Causes." These campaigns are specifically tailored for the Indigenous Fish Farming communities in Epe, Lagos, Nigeria. The core objective is to shine a light on the intricate web of environmental degradation and its consequences for local fish farmers, all within the framework of his Frontiers project, FishLove. Through strategic platforms like fishlove.org.ng, the FishLove-tv Youtube channel, and the @FishLove163849 X (formerly Twitter) handle, the campaigns are making waves, raising awareness, and bringing this vital issue to the forefront. Take a moment to watch and share!

Frontiers seed funding awardee Wasiu Oyedepo, leads Future Today Edutech Hub in a successful pilot of a new Social Robot Curriculum. In collaboration with Professor Cynthia Breazeal from MIT's Media Lab and researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the project engaged underrepresented students aged 11-17 from two rural communities in Lagos State, Nigeria. In this inspiring example of education meeting real-world problem-solving, the students designed and built prototypes of social robots to solve critical local issues such as biodiversity loss, contaminated water, and load-lifting for rural dwellers.
