Tech4Dev

As they return to their schools, these teachers are better equipped to apply this knowledge in their classrooms, guide girls as they engage with AI and digital skills and encourage more girls to explore opportunities in STEM. We are grateful to the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub for supporting this initiative, and to the Lagos State Ministry of Education, the Permanent Secretary, our facilitators, and all participating teachers for making the workshop possible. Here are some moments from yesterday’s workshop. @ukngtechhub #Tech4Dev #TechGirlsDrive #GirlsInSTEM #GirlsInTech #TeachersWorkshop

Across the sessions, teachers explored responsible AI use in education, existing skill gaps, the realities that can shape girls’ participation in STEM, and practical ways to create learning environments where girls feel supported to explore, learn, and build their interests.

Yesterday, in celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, we brought together selected public secondary school teachers from across all educational districts in Lagos State for a capacity-building workshop.

Supporting more girls to explore STEM also means equipping the teachers who guide their learning every day.

That growth eventually led to an internship with a multinational company. It is a significant shift from where her journey began, and one that shows what can happen when learning moves from simply understanding concepts to being able to apply them.

Chisom Nwachukwu once struggled to understand coding. Now, she’s using it to solve real business problems. When Chisom joined the Women Techsters Fellowship, she had already started teaching herself Mobile App Development, but needed the structure and support to turn what she was learning into practical skills.

Empowering Teachers to Inspire the Next Generation of Girls in STEM and AI Literacy! In celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, Tech4Dev is championing opportunities for girls to explore technology, build confidence and develop the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Through the Tech Girls Drive Teachers Stakeholder Workshop, funded by the @ukngtechhub, we are bringing together selected public secondary school teachers from all educational districts in Lagos State to explore responsible AI use, strengthen inclusive learning environments and identify practical ways to support girls pursuing STEM and digital skills. The workshop creates an opportunity for educators to share knowledge, reflect on existing challenges and explore practical approaches to making STEM and digital learning more accessible and inclusive for girls. Together, we can help create learning environments where every girl is encouraged to learn, innovate and reach her full potential. @ukngtechhub #DayOfTheGirl #TechGirlsDrive #WomenTechsters #GirlsInSTEM #AILiteracy #DigitalInclusion #Tech4Dev #UKNigeriaTechHub

A big thank you to Beacon Power Services for partnering with us on this engagement and supporting our commitment to reaching and inspiring more girls through the Tech Girls Advocacy Drive. Here are some highlights from our visits. #TechGirlsAdvocacyDrive #TechGirlsSquad #GirlsInSTEM #InternationalDayOfTheGirlChild #Tech4Dev

Through interactive conversations, the girls learned about different career pathways, asked questions, and explored how developing relevant digital skills can prepare them for a future increasingly shaped by technology. The engagement also went beyond the conversations in the room. Copies of the Tech Girls Squad Handbook were shared with the girls, providing a resource they can continue to engage with as they explore STEM and learn more about the possibilities available to them.

In continuation of the Tech Girls Drive Advocacy, we visited Ikeja Junior High School and Ikeja Senior High School, Lagos, engaging girls in conversations about STEM, Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital skills, and the opportunities available to them.
