EducAid STEMpower

The EducAid STEMpower team had a successful engagement with the parents of the participating pupils in the Education Uninterrupted Project (EUP) pilot for a training session on accessing and using STEMpower videos. Some of the participating pupils do not have access to digital devices and will rely on their parents to support them with their devices to access the videos. The session was engaging, and the parents appreciated the idea of creating remedial video lessons for any interruptions in education. They are pleased to see the video lesson of one of the STEMpower members in Mathematics and would like the idea to move from a pilot stage to a project stage, where some of their children will be trained and featured in the STEM video lessons. They commit to supporting their children in gaining access to the videos.

The EducAid STEMpower team hosted 40 secondary school pupils from across Port Loko for a training session on accessing and using STEMpower videos. This is part of the Education Uninterrupted Project (EUP) sponsored by . This project is at its pilot stage. The videos produced are girl-led and will be made available on social media platforms like YouTube. The girl-led STEM videos will serve as remedial video lessons for use during school breaks and unexpected interruptions, such as outbreaks, as well as for self-study and revision of important topics.

The EducAid STEMpower pilot has commenced through the Education Uninterrupted Pilot (EUP), a program sponsored by Plan International. We began by engaging the administrations of four senior secondary schools in the Port Loko district and recruiting ten participating students for the pilot. We will collaborate with these students to assess the impact of the STEMpower videos that will be created by our strong girls.
