In a groundbreaking move to revolutionize education in rural Ghana. Dreamers Wish Foundation in Partnership with Bountiful Technologies Co. Ltd, and Bountiful STEM Educational Foundation have successfully launched a pioneering STEAM education initiative at Dadome Basic D/A School in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region. This initiative, aimed at transforming education in underserved communities, marks a significant step in equipping students with essential 21st-century skills.
During the launch, 70 parents, 150 students, and 30 teachers witnessed and participated in the ushering of the program, which promises to bridge the gap between traditional learning and project-based learning.
Transforming Education Through STEAM The initiative is set to benefit over 8,000 students (40% will be girls) in the North Tongu District. At its core, a state-of-the-art STEAM center will be constructed, serving as a hub for inspiring students to explore careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. This center will feature innovative programs in robotics, computational thinking, coding, decomposition, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), basic electronics, ethical leadership, and vocational skills training. By incorporating vocational education, the program ensures students have diverse opportunities for success, aligning advanced technology learning with practical, job, and college-ready skills.
