We are making STEM hands-on, engaging, and accessible. We want to shift from rote learning to interactive, inquiry-based experiences that spark curiosity and critical thinking. By integrating emerging technologies and relatable role models, we hope to inspire more children, especially girls, to pursue STEM careers, where African students confidently innovate and solve real-world problems.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

FunKe Science was created to make STEM education engaging, accessible, and hands-on for children, especially in Africa. Seeing a gap in theoretical teaching, we designed interactive workshops, science kits, and digital content to spark curiosity and build confidence, especially in girls. By integrating localized content and emerging tech, we inspire the next generation of scientists and innovators

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, FunKe Science delivers hands-on, engaging STEM education through multiple channels. We run interactive science sessions in schools, host science events, and provide curriculum-aligned digital content and workshops. Our science kits bring experiments to life, making learning fun and accessible at home and in classrooms. We integrate emerging technologies like VR and AR to enhance understanding and engagement. Schools subscribe to our platform for structured science programs, teacher training, and resources that simplify STEM learning. Our approach emphasizes kinesthetic learning, allowing children to explore and experiment rather than just memorize facts. We also track impact through student engagement, repeat customers, and learning outcomes. By making science relatable and exciting, we equip young learners—especially girls—with the confidence and curiosity to pursue STEM careers, shaping Africa’s future innovators and problem solvers.
