STEM Africa Fest, a leading initiative promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics (STEN) education, has made significant strides in equipping African youth with cutting-edge skills. The 2025 edition trained an impressive 3,000 children in Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, inspiring the next generation of African innovators.
Participants engaged in interactive sessions on coding, game development, animation, and AI tools, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. The event has expanded across countries like Ghana, Zambia, Rwanda, and Nigeria, reflecting it’s commitment to continental youth empowerment. With Africa’s youthful population projected to drive global workforce growth by 2035, initiatives like STEM Africa Fest are crucial for equipping youth with in-demand tech skills.
STEM Skills can unlock Africa’s potential in emerging tech sectors like cybersecurity, green economy, and AI. Africa needs 2.5 million more engineers to meet development demands, highlighting the urgency of investing in STEM education. With over 60% of Africa’s population under 25, STEM education offers pathways to tackle youth unemployment and drive innovation.
