Robotics incorporates all aspects of STEM learning which include science that is physics; technology encompassing coding; engineering covering design, mechanical and electrical. Lastly, mathematics which cover geometry, data and algorithms. All these aspects emphasize critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity among the learners.
InovTech STEM Center journey began way back when Jonathan Kennedy Sowah, who is the founder had enough of negative perception on science, technology, engineering and mathematics while in Senior High School back in 2015. Jonathan could not comprehend why information communication technology was termed as a co-curricular activity.
The self-made Computer Scientist, STEM Education Specialist, Speaker and Robotics Engineer with eight years’ experience noted the gap owing to the eighty percent of students with zero understanding on most of the basic concepts of computing then.
He formed a club where he went on a campaign trail in each class emphasizing the importance of STEM subjects, and repercussions if students didn’t partake them. The passion for the STEM subjects resulted to Jonathan and the rest of club members to self-teach themselves, simultaneously training their juniors for national and international competitions. His passion and zeal saw him launch the project countrywide.
Today, InovTech STEM Center collaborates with various institutions ranging from private, public, non-governmental organizations to individuals with similar goals and objectives to make STEM education relevant in Africa.
