80 students completed a month-long training program in electronics and computer science at STEMpower's STEM Center in , Western Province.
The trainees were a mix of UTB students and secondary school students, trained separately.
The young innovators, aged between 18 and 24, gaining hands-on experience in electronics and programming, are not just learning theory — they’ve already developed their own projects, applying real-world solutions to everyday challenges.
UTB student Pacifique Uwase has always been passionate about computer science, despite pursuing a degree in Hospitality at the university. After completing the training program, Uwase and his teammate Taophique Mucyo Hirwa developed the Milk Management System, a project designed to support milk vendors in their daily operations.
“The system will help vendors work digitally, especially when recording client information, making the process more efficient and reliable. We hope that STEMpower’s initiatives continue to reach as many students as possible and empower them to achieve even greater heights,” Uwase said.
STEMpower establishes STEM Centers across Sub-Saharan Africa, then provides training for that vast growing base of Centers. Want to participate in our next project? Visit our website www.stempower.org
