The week-long Greater Accra Regional STMIE (Science, Technology, Mathematics, Innovation, and Engineering) Camp came to a vibrant close at Achimota School, marking a week filled with discovery, creativity, and the limitless potential of Ghana’s young minds.
Held under the inspiring theme “STEM Education: Our Pride, Our Future, Our World,” the 2025 STMIE Camp brought together learners from across the Greater Accra Region.
Through a series of hands-on projects and interactive sessions, the camp challenged participants to think critically, solve real-world problems, and explore their passion for science and technology.
Throughout the week, learners immersed themselves in practical STEM activities—ranging from simple inventions to complex tech-driven solutions.
The camp served not only as a platform for skill-building but also as a nurturing ground for the next generation of Ghanaian innovators.
The climax of the programme was the grand closing ceremony, where learners showcased their remarkable projects to an audience of educators, facilitators, stakeholders, and invited guests.
The energy was electric as students proudly presented their work, receiving applause and admiration for their ingenuity.
Several participants were honoured with awards for exceptional performance in areas such as creativity, innovation, and critical thinking, reinforcing the camp’s mission to recognize and cultivate excellence.
Delivering the keynote speech at the ceremony, Greater Accra Regional Director of Education, Hajia Katumi Natogmah Attah, applauded the learners and facilitators for the remarkable achievements.
She emphasized the importance of STEM education in shaping a prosperous and equitable future for all.
“STEM education is not just about coding or robotics; it’s about cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration,” she said. “By embracing STEM, we empower our youth to become the problem-solvers and leaders of tomorrow. Let us work together to make STEM accessible, inclusive, and of the highest quality.”
Speaking to Adom News, Hajia Katumi expressed pride in the accomplishments of the students and praised the initiative for offering a practical and engaging approach to learning.
Berthy Buah Adom, the Greater Accra Regional STMIE Coordinator, also reflected on the camp’s success, highlighting the encouraging results.
“Our goal was to ignite interest in STEM fields and nurture innovation among our young learners. Judging by what we’ve seen this week, the future is indeed bright,” she stated.
As the curtain falls on the 2025 STMIE Camp, it leaves behind not just fond memories but a powerful message: when young minds are given the tools and opportunity, they can build a future full of innovation, equity, and endless possibilities.
