In March 2025, TME Education Ambassadors across Africa and Asia led a powerful wave of hands-on STEM education. Over a dozen countries celebrated Arduino Day with hackathons, game development challenges, and practical electronics workshops aimed at building real-world engineering skills. Students built prototypes, explored embedded systems, and learned how to code with Arduino boards and sensors. In Zambia, Tanzania, and Kenya, learners were introduced to 3D printing, laser cutting, and sensor-based prototyping—developing foundational skills for the future of digital manufacturing. University collaborations flourished in Madagascar, Burundi, and Uganda, where workshops trained students in electronics, AI integration, and microcontroller programming.
This month also shone a spotlight on women in tech. Programmes like HerTronics in Zimbabwe and girls-only workshops in Ghana and Eswatini empowered female learners through sustainable design, physical computing, and electronics. Girls built flashlights using recycled plastic, created smart systems, and engaged in mentorship and innovation events aimed at bridging the gender gap in technology access.
As learners explored robotics, digital fabrication, and problem-solving through real-world projects, we tried to accomplish our mission: to make technology education accessible, relevant, and life-changing. March 2025 marked a movement, not just a programme — fostering talent, building local innovation ecosystems, and reshaping the future of STEM education : one country, one learner, and one innovation at a time.
