Girls in Robotics (GiR)
is a 10-month African Youth Ignited initiative aimed at introducing girls from marginalized communities to the fields to STEM careers through Mentorship, Robotics and Coding, Olympiads, Digital Literacy, Game Development, and Animation.
How we work:
Local schools provide AYI with girls who are then enrolled in project-based team learning where they are nurtured to find their match in the adventurous careers found in STEM fields. Girls attend weekly workshops of two hours, and participate in Hackathons/ Competitions in tech and robotics.
​
Objectives:
Get more African girls at a basic education level interested in STEM career fields.
Increase the number of girls enrolling in STEM education streams at the university level.
Mentor and support girls to translate digital skills into into monetization/ entrepreneurship.
