Bupe founded Genius Education Zambia to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and 21st-century skills.The youth-led organisation provides young people in Zambia with an EdTech platform hosting educational videos that encourage user interaction. It also hosts TEM Awards, writing contests, science fairs, innovation hubs, e-learning, academic mentorship programs, leadership development, STEM camps, and Robotics and Artificial Intelligence clubs.
Bupe attended the 2022 One Young World Summit in Manchester, where she connected with her mentor, former UN Under-Secretary-General Michael Møller. She credits his guidance with helping her reach key milestones in the years since, including being named to Zambia’s 30 Under 30 List and becoming a Science Diplomat at the Geneva Science Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA).
Over 100,000 young Zambians have taken part in Genius Education Zambia’s programmes since it started. Genius Education Zambia worked with Zambia’s National Science Center to help bring science and technology into schools. Their curriculum won the prestigious QS Reimagine Education Award and has been strengthened through partnerships with organisations such as the U.S. Government, the World Bank, and SAP.
