Time Out 4Africa hosted the 8th Annual Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) EXPO for girls in Minna Nigeria on February 11th, 2025.

The EXPO was designed to expose girls, ages 7-12 to the basics of STEM Education. Thirty girls were exposed to basic science, technology and engineer activities. This highlight of this year’s EXPO was the engagement with the Keva Planks. The use of the Keva Planks promoted teamwork, creativity, and innovation, all skills needed by a STEM professionals. Twenty of the girls in attendance were returning from the 2024 Expo. Five 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, girls were given a Time Out 4Africa bookbag for school supplies.

Girls at the EXPO received information on STEM careers and they were encouraged to think about the possibilities of a STEM career opportunity. The girls expressed excitement about engaging in the STEM activities and learning about STEM careers.

Your donation made a difference and with your continued support, TimeOut4Africa can reach more girls in Minna, Nigeria, exposing them to the possiblies of STEM careers.
