Since our last update, incredible progress has been made across our programs in Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Namibia. Each country has taken exciting steps toward strengthening youth access to quality STEM education — with new courses, teacher training, and expanded partnerships.
Mozambique:
Students successfully completed Course 3: Intermediate Robotics, marking an important milestone in their learning journey. This group developed a specialization in Arduino, deepening their understanding of programming and automation. Their teacher — a dedicated and passionate robotics educator — has guided them through hands-on projects that connect technology to real-life applications.
Ethiopia:
Students in Ethiopia have shown remarkable interest and potential in both Robotics and Technical English. Recognizing their commitment, we launched a training program for a small group of advanced students who are now preparing to become future instructors. This new initiative strengthens sustainability and local leadership within the program.
Namibia:
We’re thrilled to announce that a new program site has been established in partnership with a secondary school in the capital. The first Robotics course has already begun, and students received 20 Arduino kits to support practical, hands-on learning. This expansion marks an exciting step in bringing STEM opportunities to even more youth in Namibia.
Challenges and Lessons Learned
While progress has been strong, connectivity and access to materials continue to be logistical challenges in certain areas. However, our local teams have demonstrated great adaptability and commitment — finding creative solutions to ensure every student can continue learning.
Next Steps
In the coming months, we plan to:
