Girls STEM Squad

Girls STEM Squad is a programme designed to train girls in secondary schools in low-income communities in Nigeria. The project aims at developing after-school junior secondary STEM education in Nigerian Communities.

We aim to arouse girl students’ interest in choosing STEM-related subjects when they enter senior secondary, which is the foundation of pursuing STEM-related careers. Moreover, our intervention will also enhance their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills.

How we do it

We Inspire, Equip and Support Girls in low-income communities in Nigeria to take up STEM Careers.

We Inspire

We capture girls’ interest in STEM by encouraging them to believe in their abilities and that with hard work, they can do and be whatever they want to.

We Teach

We utilize challenging hands-on, exciting, and fun lessons and activities in the classroom. We make our classroom a risk-free “I can do it” STEM adventure ground.

We Support

Our faculty is always open to offer support for any of our trainees, either physically or online. We also recruit female instructors from amongst the trainees who have passed through our programmes

We Track

Our programme utilizes a mentorship programme, number of students offering sciences in senior secondary, graduation rate, matriculation rate in tertiary education and completion of a STEM degree as long-term measures.

SUPPORT OUR CAUSE

Let's Join our Hands to Support our Girls in STEM

Gender bias in STEM fields continues to persist and in spite of decades of progress to reverse this disparity, the number of men in STEM careers, particularly at the higher levels of STEM professions, is much higher than that of women. Your support will go along way in addressing this disparity

contributions are vital to the success of Center4Tech

Brittney Oberfeld

“Tech has inspired me from an early age – from sneaking time away on the one computer we had back when I was 10 to now working in the games industry. Any way I can inspire kids to feel the same way makes me excited!

Adam Saltsman

“I got involved with Center4Tech because I wanted to let people outside of North America and the EU know that we care and we are interested in what they have to say, and that we can’t wait to see what they make”

Chiedu Adigwe

“I got involved with Center4Tech because I know that the only way to stimulate technology innovations in Africa is to equip the young people with tech skills early in their lives. Well done Center4Tech for this great initiative”
