We still have a lot of work to do and we are working towards getting more young girls and women digitally skilled, pursue careers in STEM. Also, we want more young girls to actively get involved in STEM from a young age.

Many people in Nigeria are largely unaware of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) despite its prevalence. Children with Autism are often seen as a “curse or taboo.”

STEM Club is an initiative to encourage young girls in primary and secondary schools to learn basic programming skills and build strong foundation in science subjects.
