STEM is one critical leg for creatively developing the solutions and innovations that we need in Africa across a range of life-supporting fields—health, food production, basic infrastructure, environment, manufacturing and so forth. But I am most interested in the move towards STEAM (adding the arts and humanities) where we begin to expand our ways of knowing and learning.

STEM is contributing to the current development demands of the continent, equipping people from all backgrounds to become part of Africa’s self-sufficient aspirations. Our focus on practical real-world engagement via internships, simulations and faculty practitioners, in STEM and in other faculties, are designed to capture future-proofing skills and mindsets for our students. – Ref.: How we made it in Africa Magazine
Many young people at the early stage of life are not privy to the fact that STEM can transform society. My message to the young ones is that STEM is not difficult. STEM is fun, it is the basis of our very existence. Don’t shy away from STEM subjects in school. Embrace it and apply the knowledge gained in your surroundings. Knock on doors to get opportunities and use the internet for research.
