One-Child Africa aims to enhance the quality of STEM education for children in Rwanda, particularly young girls from marginalized backgrounds and lack access to quality Science education. Our project empowers children by developing their interest and passion for STEM, building their confidence in problem-solving, and encouraging them to use their skills to tackle societal issues. Our Engagement approach involves providing year-round STEM education programs that foster hands-on, applicable, and inspirational learning experiences in science to children aged 3-15. By creating educational resources, including STEM Boardgames, books, posters, workshops and competitions we allow children to engage with science outside the classroom. We work closely with schools, communities, and families to provide STEM education programs tailored to the needs of the target group. Our engagement approach includes a variety of formats, content, methods, and tools to engage the children in STEM education.
