STEM BOYS EXCURSION 2022

By Hauwa Kolo | Project leader

Our STEM Boys arrive at the facility.

Timeout4Africa Education and Sports Foundation continues to expose our STEM BOYS to STEM experiences. In August 2022, Mawo School STEM boy group went on an excursion to Habees Water Bottling Company in Minna, Nigeria.
Habees is a water bottling company, located in the Minna Metropolis, with a capacity of processing about 100,000 bottles of water per day. The STEM Boys saw the water purifying process comprising the use of sand filter, carbon filter, and resin to remove particles and carbon from untreated water. The boys were in awe of the size of water tanks used in this process.
While in the facility, the STEM Boys went to the blowing room where they saw prefab plastic put into a machine and blown into a mold in the shape of the bottle. The process fascinated the STEM Boys and sone of the boys where given the opportiunty to use the machine to produce some bottles. They said they will never forget the experince at the bottling company and they learned about the importance of the water purifying process.

The STEM Boys also visited the production room where the water is further purified using UV light to kill bacteria. Additionally, the boys observed sachet water packs ( popularly know in Nigeria as pure water)being filled with water. Once this process was complete, the water was ready to be packaged for distribution. The entire process is automated which further ignited the boys love for STEM. John one of the STEM boys on the trip stated, "It was an interesting and educative experience for me and other STEM Boys. We saw for the first time ever, how water we consume daily undergoes various purification processes to make it safe for drinking and keep us healthy."
At the end of the excursion, the Boys took group photographs with staff of the company expressing thanks for having them and gain such experience. The Boys subsequently had lunch and returned to school.

Timeout4Africa Education and Sports Foundation continues to expose our STEM girls to STEM experiences. In October 2021, Mawo School STEM Girls went on an excursion to Minna general hospital maternity ward in Minna, Nigeria.
The Maternity ward is also called a health care clinic located in the Minna Metropolis on old airport rd. The STEM Girls learnt about the types of health care workers who work at the clinics, which included doctors, nurses, midwifes, community healthcare extension workers and also laboratory technicians. They learnt about services offered like antenatal care, general medical services, baby deliveries, immunization and family planning, drugs dispenser and treatment of malnourished children.

The day was full with new experiences and introduction to medical equipment like stethoscope, weighting scale and all their uses.

The entire process ignited the girls' love for STEM. Precious, one of the STEM girls on the trip stated, "It was an interesting and educative tip and now we all have an idea of the great work being performed at the hospital.

At the end of the excursion, the girls took group photographs with staff of the clinic expressing thanks for having them and gaining such experience. The girls subsequently had lunch and returned to school.
