We envision Being the leading catalyst in Africa, inspiring girls to pursue STEM careers and become agents of change.
We offer a range of programs designed to inspire and empower young students aged 12-19 and high school teachers.
The 4-week "Shine with us for Students" program, which combines hands-on learning experiences with essential life skills specifically for girls.
We offer the "Shine with us for Teachers "Shine with us for Teachers" program, empowering educators to become agents of change in delivering STEM education with a focus on sustainability.
Our "Step into STEM" program is a half-day program that sparks imagination and creativity through STEM knowledge and life skills.
In the beginning, I expected to learn different STEM careers, empowerment and my expectations were met. We learned how to awaken the best out of us and to stop fearing ourselves. If all the girls could be trained as we did, the world would not be the same

In this workshop I have learned to use the opportunity I have without doubt, I have learned that I need to be confident and to proactively work with others in a team. I have also learned how to apply my ideas to tangible things and be able to convince people about it.
Farida, age 16
What I loved most is creativity! We came up with different STEM based projects, and my team worked on providing access to quality healthcare. In this short time , I understood the ways I could make new things to solve different problems within my society using technology and resources around me.

I have learned to start where I am, use what I have and also do what I can! I have learned that science can play a big role in solving the most pressing problems in our society and that it can make our lives easier. I have learned the benefits of working in a team and my role as a team player.
