STEM Synergy Inc., in collaboration with Kotebe University of Education, launched the Girls STEM Camp on March 29, 2025, with the goal of addressing the gender gap in STEM fields. The ongoing eight-week program is providing hands-on training in ICT, electronics, and robotics to 25 secondary school girls. Designed to empower participants with practical skills and boost their confidence, the initiative aims to inspire the next generation of female innovators in science and technology.
The opening ceremony was held with the presence of Mr. Abiyot Lakew, Country Director of STEM Synergy Inc., Dr. Teshome Tolcha, Head of the President’s Office, and Dr. Tewodros, STEM Center Coordinator at Kotebe University of Education. The speakers delivered motivating messages that highlighted the critical role of STEM education in unlocking future opportunities for young women and promoting gender equality in the field.
The camp focuses on creativity, innovation, and real-world problem-solving. Participants are currently working on a series of practical projects that allow them to apply their knowledge to real-life challenges. At the end of the program, the best projects will be recognized and awarded, with top entries advancing to the 10th National Science and Engineering Fair—providing these young learners with a prestigious platform to showcase their skills and potential.
