Phases Approach to our Programs

Learning Phase

In the learning phase, the primary focus is on empowering students with essential skills and knowledge in various technological domains. This phase encompasses a diverse array of subjects including robotics, drones, coding and programming, electronics, computer and digital literacy. Additionally, specialized tracks are offered, such as graphic design, web development programming, digital management and data science with Python. During this phase, students engage in structured learning activities, workshops, and hands-on projects designed to foster their understanding and proficiency in these areas. The goal of this phase is to provide a strong foundation upon which students can build their innovation journey.

Innovation Phase

In the innovation phase, students are encouraged to explore their creativity and apply their newly acquired skills to develop project ideas that have the potential to benefit their schools and communities. Facilitators at the Innovation Center guide students through the process of brainstorming, refining, and prototyping their ideas. Collaborative sessions and mentorship opportunities are provided to support students in transforming their concepts into tangible project-based initiatives. Emphasis is placed on encouraging innovative thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork during this phase.

Deployment Phase

The deployment phase marks the culmination of the innovation process, wherein students' projects are implemented and put into action within their schools and communities. Students are actively involved in planning and executing the deployment of their projects, under the guidance and support of the Innovation Center staff. This phase not only serves to showcase the students' achievements but also enables them to make a meaningful impact on their surroundings. Through the deployment of their ideas, students gain valuable real-world experience, leadership skills, and a sense of responsibility towards creating positive change.

Experience the Difference Our Enrichment Programs Can Make

Tech Skills Training

The "STEM for Us by Us" conference is a transformative initiative focused on empowering Sierra Leone's youth through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. By nurturing a passion for STEM disciplines and ensuring equal access to resources, the conference addresses educational disparities, fosters innovation, and lays the groundwork for a sustainable future.

STEM Discovery Labs ​

STEM Discovery Labs offers an immersive learning experience covering robotics, electronics, 3D printing, coding, and digital and computer literacy. Designed specifically for students, these hands-on activities foster creativity, problem-solving, and technological proficiency. From building robots to programming, each session sparks curiosity and innovation among young learners. These labs equip students with essential digital skills for navigating today's world and preparing them for future success.

School Clubs ​

Our school Club is a physical safe space and an environment where a variety of technological tools are used to enable the next generation of creative thinkers (High school students) to learn about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects and be prepared for 21st Century learning.

By nurturing a passion for STEM disciplines and ensuring equal access to resources, the conference addresses educational disparities, fosters innovation, and lays the groundwork for a sustainable future.

Drones In Schools

The drones are used for Capturing aerial photos and videos of their school environment. Study geographical and environment changes, map out safety environment and environment sanitation

School Bin system

The students are currently able to track the bin's location and determine when it needs emptying, prompting them to dispose of waste accordingly. They have established a system for sorting plastic, organic waste, and other materials, actively encouraging proper disposal practices. Plastic is regularly collected for recycling, showcasing their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Attendance management system

For the attendance management system, students have created real-time monitoring of class attendance, including tracking students' arrivals, departures, and instances of lateness.

Graphic Designs

Students have currently set up a mini studio in their schools designing posters, flyers, and banners for various events and initiatives, printing notes for other students with little charges ( We currently have about 2 schools that are implementing this program. We also have 3 individuals that have stated a graphic design business that they are currently doing while studying in the university)

Web Development Studio

Currently, three students have successfully completed our comprehensive bootcamp classes, specializing in website design and development. Equipped with a diverse skill set acquired through our program, these students now offer professional services to businesses, individuals, and organizations

Digital Management

Some of our bootcamp participants (Mostly small business owners)who have successfully completed our bootcamp classes are equipped with comprehensive skills and knowledge. They specialize in various digital marketing strategies, including social media management, search engine optimization (SEO), content creation, and paid advertising campaigns. These students are proficient in leveraging digital platforms to increase brand awareness, drive website traffic, and generate leads for businesses and organizations. With their expertise, they can develop customized digital marketing strategies tailored to their business goals and target audience of each client.
