Project details:
STEM for All is an education project that targets students in underprivileged and underserved areas in grades 5th to 8th (ages 10-14 years old), allowing them to learn science, math, engineering, and technology (such as coding, programming, robotics, and 3D printing) which are all becoming part of this generation’s must-learn knowledge and skills to cope and excel with the rapid development of technology. The project uses STEM education to develop the critical thinking skills of participants along with their acquired skills in either one or all of the mentioned technologies.
The project was implemented within public schools with the approval of the Ministry of Education and in CBOs in 7 governorates, in partnership with various local community service entities.
