Personal computers for our STEM project

Hello Donor,

TimeOut4Africa Foundation continues to provide much needed support to children in Nigeria. The Foundation will be able to supply 32 young girls with 8 computers to share for instruction. For the past few years, our young girls have expressed the desire to improve their instructional practices with the use of modern technology. The laptops will be an avenue for students and teachers to connect virtually to online resources to support teaching and learning. The computers are scheduled to arrive in Nigeria before the start of the September semester. The computers will provide digital access to Our STEM girls and give them the opportunity to work on Coding.

We are very exited to announce that our STEM Ambassador, Naomi. Was at it again at the USA Science and Engineering Festival at the Washington DC convention center in April, gathering information and learning more about science to share with the girls in November during our next STEM camp. At the festival we were excited to meet the inventor of ZYX sticks Mechanical Engineer Shannon. The ZYX sticks are wooden building sticks that promote creative, collaborative play for both girls and boys of all ages. Shannon was kind enough to show us how they work and also give us a set for Naomi to share with the girls at the future camp in Nigeria.

Thank you for your continuous support. TimeOut4Africa’s work would not be fulfilled without your generous donations. Please fill fee to share our work with friends and family. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @Timeout4Africa.
