In October 2024, a team of high school STEM Ambassadors and facilitators, led by Shirley Posey, STEM Director from the Imhotep Institute Charter High School in Philadelphia, set off to bring sustainable solutions to a school in the rural area of Nukuru, Kenya. In just one week the STEM Ambassadors succeeded in building filtration systems to provide clean water, 3d printed hydroponic farming, installation of a STEM Innovation Lab and a clothing drive for children and teachers. A literacy component of a letter writing exchange as well as training of students and teachers help to ensure a lasting and sustainable partnership with the school village in Kenya and the High school in Philadelphia, PA.
The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion among educators, administrators, parents, students and community on how education, grassroots innovation and self determination can empower communities to create STEM based sustainable solutions to solve community problems.
The Public and Media are welcome to attend
