I enjoyed every minute of our conversation! We talked about:
- STEAM being transdisciplinary (bringing various subjects together) and how it can be used to solve challenges around the world
- 'A' - Arts was introduced into the STEAM family to ensure inclusiveness, as most students felt there was no need to be part of the STEM movement especially, as they had no flair for the science subjects in school
- Bootcamps, Drone Technology, Cell Phone Training, Solar Cell Set-up, Climate Change, Entrepreneurship Training, and much more across the Lagos State, Nigeria
- Funding and the plans for 2022 in the STEAM space in Lagos, across Nigeria, Africa and her hope for children and youth towards developing innovative solutions
- Stories of some great achievements to date
Adetola is very passionate about STEAM. You will love this practical insight!
Happy listening!
