Lower Primary School:

In the lower primary school phase, our focus is on introducing students to the world of STEM through engaging non-curriculum learning. We promote awareness of STEM courses and fields, opening young minds to the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and math. By fostering curiosity and excitement at an early age, we lay the foundation for a lifelong journey of exploration and learning.

Upper Primary School:

As students progress to upper primary school, the engagement with STEM becomes more rigorous and challenging. We continue to prioritize the awareness of STEM fields and occupations, while also nurturing a deeper understanding of the academic requirements of these fields. Through hands-on activities and projects, students gain valuable skills and develop a problem-solving mindset, preparing them for the possibilities that lie ahead.

High School:

In the high school phase, our program of study takes a focused approach, emphasizing the practical application of STEM subjects in a challenging and rigorous manner. We empower students to think critically and creatively, equipping them with the tools to tackle complex problems and drive innovation. By nurturing a passion for STEM, we prepare the next generation of leaders and visionaries who can shape a better world.

Lack of ICT Skills and Support:

Communities living in far flung and remote areas lack trainers skilled in computing and technology skills. These communities are often precluded from accessing latest technology information and knowledge thus leading to widening digital divide from counterparts in urban areas.

Lack of Physical Access to ICT Infrastructure:

Lack of Technology tools is impacting STEM subjects engagement and technology accessibility among underserved communities in Africa, mainly due to cost of computers (hardware and software), poor internet penetration & inaccessibility to electricity. STEM Tech Kitting which includes basic tech equipment, skills and knowledge has been identified as an opportunity for fostering a deeper understanding of STEM subjects through hands-on exploration and experimentation.

Cultural and Behavioural Attitude towards STEM:

Gender, physical disability and age segregations are some of the cultural attitudes that continue to expand the digital divide among many communities in Africa. Communities that disadvantage girls’ education ultimately disenfranchise the girl child from accessing technology opportunities. This causes a ‘difficult subject’ attitude towards sciences to spread among generations. Inadequate policies on STEM education, lack of ‘fun’ activities as well as a weak teaching resource capacity have perpetuated this attitude problem towards technology explosion in Africa. There are only 35% of female students enrolled in STEM-related fields worldwide. In Sub-Saharan Africa, on 30% of science researchers are.
