In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Edufun Technik STEM Foundation on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 visited Onono-Anam, a rural community in Anambra West LGA, Anambra State, to engage and inspire students in the community.
Led by the COO, Mrs. Uchenna Onwuamaegbu-Ugwu, the team received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the management, teachers, and students of Great Sailors Secondary School.
This visit follows Edufun Technik’s remarkable initiative last year, where, with support from the Harvard Innovation Lab and Harvard University, they established Tech Equity Lab, the community’s first-ever computer and digital lab and provided solar-powered electricity for the school and students.
During her address, Mrs. Onwuamaegbu-Ugwu encouraged students to seize the opportunities provided by the digital lab, highlighting its potential to unlock limitless possibilities. Speaking directly to the girls, she urged them to stay focused, believe in themselves, and strive to become changemakers in their communities.
Expressing gratitude for the initiative, Chinasa Ogbu, a student at Great Sailors Secondary School, shared:
“I am thankful to Harvard University, the Harvard Innovation Lab, and Edufun Technik STEM Foundation for providing us with this amazing gift—our very first technology lab. Before now, most of us had never touched a computer. We had only heard about them but never imagined having the chance to learn how to use them. We are forever grateful.”
Edufun Technik STEM Foundation continues to drive equity in education, ensuring that even students in underserved communities have access to STEM opportunities that can shape their futures.
