Summary
Young girls in Minna, Nigeria have limited access to STEM
materials. STEM materials for kids such as legos, keva planks, k'nexs, and snap
circuit discovery kits promote creativity and inspire children to think about
innovations that can help change the world. Time Out 4Africa plans to adopt a
primary school in Minna, Nigeria. This project will help provide the school
girls with STEM materials that will promote innovation and creativity.
Challenge
Many of the schools in Minna, Nigeria are
underfunded resulting in kids having limited access to school materials and
equipment. In addition to basic school materials and equipment like desks and
chairs, science and technology supplies are often missing from the class
environment.
Solution
This project will allow Time Out 4Africa to provide
assistance to schools by providing basic science and technology materials like
science exploration kits, tables, laptops, lego blocks, keva planks, k'nexs and
snap circuit discovery kits.
Long-Term Impact
Providing the school with basic STEM supplies will
aid in creating an environment that promotes innovation and creativity.
Additionally, proving basic STEM supplies would help create an environment for
students to explore scientific issues and think critically about the world
around them.
