The Technology Consultancy Centre joined Bosomtwe Girls STEM Senior High School and a dozen other Senior High Schools in the Ashanti region to celebrate the World Engineering Day.

The event is premised on the Centre’s STEM Empowerment Program which aligns with UNESCO’s World Engineering Day goals.

“Our aim is to empower the young minds of Bosomtwe Girls by providing them with a multifaceted experience, encompassing IoT workshops, sustainable technology solutions, engineering talks and smart networking,” said Director-General of TCC CIMET, Prof. Francis Davis.

STEM Policy advisor, Office of the Minister of Education, Prof. Mark Adom-Asamoah advocated institutionalization of affirmative action to encourage girls to pursue STEM education.

“It is vital that we encourage our younger generation to undertake STEM education. This will be achieved by institutionalizing affirmative action and encouraging inclusivity such as allocating admission slots to less endowed schools and hard-to-reach areas of our countries,” he charged.

The students formed groups to undertake practical scientific activities.
