Mofiyin Onanuga

Mofiyin Onanuga is an 18 year-old STEM and gender equality activist from the United Kingdom. She is a changemaker, educator, and tech-fanatic. Mofiyin is a Girl Up UNF Teen Advisor and London Coalition Co-President. She’s the Founder of the Teach It In 10 curriculum and interns for the Yes, 1 Billion Kids Can Code initiative, whose mission is to teach over half of the world population of children the skills of the future.

Culture plays a massive role in her life which is why she has developed a love for languages, people and different parts of the world. Mofiyin strongly believes in the power of equipping children with essential technology and coding for livelihood skills. She has hosted events across the world to support young people and inspire them on their activist journeys. She aims to use the powers of STEM and gender equality as anchors to connect as many as she can across the globe. Her podcast Today Is Not Tomorrow is one platform where she does just that.

One action Mofiyin would like everyone to take:

“Make noise because you are heard. Collaborate because an army is 10 times as strong. Join the Girl Up community (you will wish you did so sooner) and join me on my activist journey as we are in this together. Watch out world as we protest, petition and persist until positive change is implemented - Key word here being … WE!”
