The COVID relief project assisted over 25 STEM girls and there families. The sudden lock down and pandemic affected our school kids and there inabilities to come out and participate in School and the STEM program, the wages of a lot of parents who are daily earners were also affected so we have learnt some of the families where having a hard time even feeding there kids.Our team was out at a lot of our STEM girls homes creating awareness on the virus spread and protection. Out team provided mask and hand sanitizer to the girls and their families. They also provided palliative and food item to the girls and also checked on their well-being.

Time Out 4Africa hosted the 4th Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) EXPO for girls in Minna Nigeria.  The EXPO was designed to expose girls, ages 7-10, to the basics of STEM Education.  Thirty-five girls were exposed to basic science experiments, coding through the use of code.org, robotics through the use of code and go mouse sets. Twenty-five of the girls that attended the EXPO where returning from the 2019 EXPO. Twelve of those girls stated that the STEM EXPO was the first time that they were exposed to STEM education.  They were so excited!

Funds donated to Time Out 4Africa’s STEM Camp in Minna were used to purchase the STEM supplies used at the camp.  Funds were also used to purchase drinks and snacks that were provided at the event. Additionally,all the  girls were given a Time Out 4Africa 10 anniversary bookbag for school supplies .
