The Technology Consultancy Centre (TCC) International Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Technology Transfer, and Entrepreneurship is set to provide training to teachers at Weweso M/A JHS on robotics toolkits.
Prof. Francis Davis, Director-General of TCC, announced the center’s initiative to offer training for teachers at the Weweso basic school, equipping them with knowledge in robotics and other STEM-related subjects.
He shared this announcement at an event organized by the center at Weweso M/A JHS.
“We recognize the recent improvements in the curriculum and the importance of providing facilitators with the necessary skills to teach effectively,” Prof. Davis stated.
“We plan to conduct training sessions for teachers to ensure they stay up to date with STEM-related topics and are prepared to guide students confidently in these fields. Additionally, we will train teachers in the use of robotic toolkits, allowing them to teach students with confidence and efficiency.”
Prof. Davis also emphasized the need for the establishment of a Robotics Club at the school to enhance hands-on learning experiences.
“We’ve identified the need for a Robotics Club to offer students practical, engaging experiences in robotics education. We are committed to supporting the school, in collaboration with the district, to establish this initiative,” he added.
In line with the celebration of World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, TCC-CIMET has also organized a talk show for final-year students at Weweso M/A JHS.
Celebrated annually on March 4th, the 2025 theme for World Engineering Day is "Engineering Solutions for a Sustainable World," highlighting the role of engineering in tackling global sustainability challenges.
The talk show, themed "Catch Them Young: Sparking Engineering Interest in Basic School Students," aims to spark curiosity and ignite passion for engineering among young learners.
Mr. Bright Appietu, IT Coordinator for the Oforikrom Municipal Ghana Education Service, commended the initiative for making STEM education more accessible and practical.
“We hope that students, from a young age, can engage with robotics and electronics kits, creating tangible solutions that meet global standards. While STEM education has often been abstract, this program brings those concepts to life, reinforcing their relevance,” he said.
Students at Weweso M/A JHS were also given hands-on demonstrations of engineering concepts and the Internet of Things (IoT), further enhancing their exposure to the world of technology and engineering.
