An innovative group, ‘Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education’ has trained about 35 corps members on teaching techniques to improve the methods of teaching in schools.

The organisers said the training tagged ‘Equipping Every Public Classrooms with a Qualified STEM Educator’  was meant to help corps members posted to schools to teach science subjects with the skills and resources.

The participants were exposed to five different modules that were strategically designed to help them become efficient, proficient and successful as STEM teachers.

The programme was organized in partnership with MindTheGap, Lagos State Ministry of Special Duties, DeBoer Lab in Purdue University, and Andela.

A member of the Stem Educators Enrichment Programme, Mr Peter Oladipupo said, “The STEM Educators Enrichment Programme (SEEP) is one of the few offerings of STEM-Ed as we continue in our quest to stimulate technological and socio-economic advancement in Nigeria through effective STEM education.”

Oladipupo told the participants the training is only the beginning of their journey. 

“The most important part of that journey will be in their classrooms, and with their students and it is therefore hoped that through the participants and their students, we can begin to experience massive breakthroughs in STEM in Nigeria,” he said.
