Science in Tents: A STEM Fair for J.H.S in Ghana.24-27June25

Science In Tents is dedicated to exposing Junior High School students in under-resourced schools to diverse STEM subjects through hands-on experiments and insightful discussions, with the aspiration of igniting their passion for STEM careers (https://visafric.org). The event features interactive experiments spanning robotics, microbiology, cell biology, chemistry, and mathematics.

Science in Tents has run for two years in 2023, and 2024. We we successfully engaged more than 600 students and 60 teachers from under-resourced schools in Accra over a span of 4 days each year (See previous event here: https://youtu.be/XE764WWHFoY, vis agric.org). This year, our goal is to reach over 600 students and at least 100 teachers. The event which is scheduled for 24th to 27th June 2025 will host numerous exhibitors and mentors, both locally and internationally.

Our mission is to acquaint school children with various STEM disciplines and demonstrate their real-world applications. We aim to showcase how the practical application of STEM can address community and national challenges in Ghana. Additionally, we seek to provide mentorship opportunities that empower students to pursue STEM courses at the senior high school and tertiary levels of education.
