STEM Synergy

STEM Synergy, in collaboration with Kotebe University of Education, proudly marked the successful completion of a three-month Girls’ STEM Camp alongside the 14th Science, Technology, and Innovation Fair.

The Girls’ STEM Camp delivered intensive weekend training for female secondary school students in Digital Skills, Electronics, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence—equipping them with practical, hands-on experience and inspiring them to pursue future careers in STEM.

The closing ceremony was celebrated alongside the 14th Science, Technology, and Innovation Fair, where students showcased their innovative projects, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The event highlighted the incredible potential of young girls when given the right opportunities, mentorship, and learning environment.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our valued partners, especially the Diplomatic Spouses Group of Ethiopia (DSGE), for their generous sponsorship and commitment to advancing girls’ education in STEM. We also thank Kotebe University of Education, the STEM Center Directorate, trainers, and mentors for their dedication and support.

Together, we continue to empower the next generation of women in STEM.

STEM Synergy, in collaboration with Addis Ababa Science and Technology University, successfully conducted and concluded a three-month weekend Girls STEM Camp focused on digital skills, electronics, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The program brought together 30 secondary school students from both public and private schools, offering them consistent, hands-on learning every weekend. Through guided projects, mentorship, and practical sessions, participants developed strong skills in coding, basic electronics, and AI concepts while enhancing their creativity and problem-solving abilities.
The closing ceremony marked a significant milestone, celebrating the commitment and achievements of the students over the three-month journey. Participants showcased their innovative projects and shared their experiences, highlighting the impact of sustained, practical STEM learning.
STEM Synergy continues to empower young girls by providing inclusive and impactful learning opportunities that prepare them to thrive in the ever-evolving world of science and technology.

Girls’ STEM Camp in Action!

The Girls’ STEM Camp, a three-month intensive program, has been successfully running for the past one and a half months at Kotebe University of Education (KUE) and Addis Ababa Science and Technology University (AASTU).

A total of 60 young girls actively engaged in STEM learning at both campuses.

The camp provides hands-on training focused on:
Digital Skills – coding, computational thinking, and digital literacy
Electronics – basic circuits, components, and practical applications
Robotics – designing, building, and programming robotic systems
Through collaborative projects and mentorship, participants are building confidence, strengthening problem-solving skills, and exploring future pathways in science, technology, and engineering.

At STEM Synergy, we remain committed to empowering girls to lead and innovate in STEM fields.

Educating today’s girls. Inspiring tomorrow’s innovators.
