We’re excited to announce our collaboration with SciCo (Science Communication), an NGO that we’ve long admired for its innovative approach to engaging the public with science.
SciCo’s multifaceted portfolio of activities not only has it reached more than 400,000 people in Greece, but it also extends beyond boarders. With a focus on STEM education and a particular interest in transferring this knowledge to underserved communities, SciCo has created the STEM in Tanzania Program, which we’re proud to be supporting with a grant this year.
The Program aims to empower children in Tanzania by amplifying their learning experience and agency, even inspire them to pursue careers in STEM fields which can potentially lead to greater economic opportunities and development in the country. At the same time, it is designed to assist local teachers to deliver long-term, high-quality STEM/STEAM education. To date, the train-the-trainer approach has been applied to more than 50 local community teachers in 6 villages. With the help of curriculum co-created by SciCo and Saving Africa's Nature and the STEM kits donated to each school, these teachers continue to provide STEM education to more than 10,000 students in their schools.
