Commenting on the launch, Mike Siachitema, Head
of Products and Solutions at Liquid Intelligent Technologies Zambia, said,
"Liquid understands that the world is living in the knowledge economy and
ICTs are the future. We see gaming as a gateway for young minds to be
interested and involved in ICTs, ultimately growing to contribute to our
country's social and economic development. Gaming is not only an entertainment
activity for young people, it ignites their passion for programming, coding,
and software development. We aim to be the provider of choice for gamers by
presenting cost-effective solutions in meeting the gaming demand. Through this,
we intend to stimulate the growth of ICTs in Zambia and unlock the potential
for the youth in Zambia".
Meanwhile, Dennis Banda, an active member of the
gaming community in Zambia, says that gaming is a platform through which young
people easily understand complex math, science, and technology concepts.
"If you consider games like Pokémon Go, for
example, they involve Algebraic-like equations and young people play these
games without actively realizing that they are learning. Gaming makes subjects
like math that are traditionally considered to be difficult or boring, cool and
easy to learn, fostering a generation of potential young mathematicians and
scientists," Banda said.
