February 2026 marked a period of sustained growth and increased impact for TME Education, as ambassadors delivered hands-on STEM training across multiple African countries. Through structured programmes in universities, secondary schools, and community learning centres, learners were equipped with practical skills in electronics, robotics, programming, and renewable energy, reinforcing TME Education’s commitment to accessible, skills-driven education.
Across all regions, a clear emphasis on experiential learning defined the approach. Students moved beyond theoretical understanding to actively design, build, and test real-world solutions. From programming microcontrollers to developing functional prototypes, learners gained confidence while strengthening their technical and problem-solving capabilities.
In Zambia, Ambassador Edward Phiri led one of the most extensive outreach efforts, engaging 153 students across 17 institutions, with 7 hosting full workshops. Participants explored embedded systems and Arduino applications, developing projects such as LED control systems and servo-driven mechanisms, demonstrating practical understanding despite infrastructure limitations.
In Kenya, Ambassador Kelvin Kangethe Gitau reached 70 students, including 20 female students , through electronics and IoT training across multiple institutions. In parallel, a targeted programme in Muhoroni supported 10 young participants in building hands-on skills in electronics repair, contributing to pathways for self-employment and technical careers.
In Tanzania, students applied Arduino knowledge to develop interactive educational tools designed for younger learners, combining creativity with user-centred design. In Uganda, programmes advanced both embedded systems training and renewable energy skills, including practical solar installation projects that strengthened real world technical competence.
In Senegal, 85 teams participated in robotics training linked to the Robotics for Good competition, with 15 teams advancing to national finals, highlighting growing competitiveness and innovation among students. Activities in Mauritania and Madagascar further expanded engagement in robotics, artificial intelligence, and project-based learning.
Collectively, these initiatives are strengthening local STEM ecosystems, fostering innovation, and building a generation of skilled, confident learners. As TME Education continues to expand, the focus remains on scaling impact, strengthening partnerships, and preparing young people for emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
