In February 2026, TME Education partnered with The MakersPlace to support the successful delivery of Arduino 4Her Cohort 3.0, held at the Google AI Community Center in Accra. The two day programme focused on equipping girls and young women with practical skills in electronics, programming, and physical computing.
The initiative recorded strong participation, with 46 participants on day one and 60 on day two, reflecting growing demand for structured, hands-on STEM learning opportunities tailored for female learners .
Participants were introduced to core electrical concepts, circuit design, and C++ programming, progressing to real time Arduino applications. Through direct engagement with hardware, learners built and tested functional circuits, strengthening both technical competence and problem solving skills.
TME Education’s contribution supported access to essential electronic components and learning resources, reinforcing its commitment to expanding practical STEM education and increasing female participation in technology.
The programme highlights the importance of strategic partnerships in addressing gender gaps in STEM, while building a strong pipeline of future innovators and engineers across Africa.
