First STEM/STEAM Outreach for girls in Ilorin, Kwara
We empowered 120+ girls with STEM Awareness
What happens when you step into a room filled with 120+ young girls… and hand them permission to dream boldly?
You ignite futures.
You build towers (literally).
You spark the next generation of African innovators.
On May 26th, 2025, the Her Tech Africa team returned to where it all began — our founder’s alma mater(Socrates College Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria), to launch our first official HER STEM OUTREACH, and it was everything we hoped for and more!
From building paper towers to designing apps, imagining future inventions, and matching African women in STEM careers — these girls showed up with brilliance, teamwork, and BIG dreams.
“I didn’t know girls could be engineers too.”
“Now I want to invent something for my community.”
“I feel like I can do anything.”
We heard this. We saw this. We felt this.
And guess what? The impact didn’t stop at the school hall.
✅ 120+ girls empowered with STEM/STEAM exposure
✅ New dreams written, affirmed, and locked into our Dream Jar
✅ Endless possibilities sparked in just 2 hours
This is WHY we do what we do.
This is how we’ll bridge the STEM gap in Africa — one girl at a time.
A big thank you to our sponsors, team, volunteers and the school; it was a success!
