TME Education programme continues to make significant strides across the globe. With a focus on regions where access to quality training is limited, this initiative is reshaping the love for electronics among hobbyists, students and enthusiasts. This is a highlight of work done in these countries, let’s journey through the experiences and achievements of this pioneering initiative with focus this time on Africa.
Tanzania: A Beacon of Learning and Innovation
Imagine stepping into a classroom at the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT) in Tanzania. Here, under the guidance of Said Hozza, a tutor, and Jafari Ndembo, an ambassador, over 160 students were trained in electronics and programming. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they delved into the practical world of electronics. This wasn’t just about circuits and writing codes, it was about igniting dreams and forging futures. Students immersed themselves in hands-on sessions, transforming theoretical knowledge into tangible skills ready for the 21st century.
Zambia: Expanding Horizons through Intensive Training
In Zambia, the narrative continued with a different hue but the same spirit. Our ambassador, Obrey Muchena, organized an extensive 23-days ‘learning by doing’ session to engage and inspire more students in the region. Each day, students engaged in practical challenges, breaking barriers and building bridges towards a technologically empowered future. This initiative represents a significant step in fostering a knowledgeable and skilled generation of technologists in Zambia.
Uganda: Bridging Theory and Practice
In Uganda, the efforts of our ambassador, Mpuuga Abdu Nasser, in organizing a workshop at St. Kizito Technical Institute in Kitovu Massaka, highlighted the ethos of TME Education programme. The workshop, focusing on essential skills like Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC), timers, programming, and soldering techniques, perfectly bridged the gap between theory and practice. This hands-on approach not only fortified the students' theoretical knowledge but also equipped them with practical skills essential in the fast-changing field of electronics and technology.
Looking Forward
Reflecting on the activities of our tutors/ambassadors in these three countries, the commitment of TME Education programme in shaping the future of technology and electronics education in underserved regions is crystal clear. By empowering ambassadors and tutors in 25 countries across Africa and in India, we are doing more than transferring knowledge. We are building a robust network of skilled individuals who are ready to contribute to their communities and the global technology ecosystem. Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission to expand our reach, enhance our programs, and continue to be a catalyst for change and development in the field of electronics and technology education.
