About the innovation

TechQuest STEM Academy

What we do?

We inspire African technology; raising the next million builders by imparting the building blocks of STEM, ICT and Digital Literacy; leveraging technology and community channels for scalable operations, minimal cost and a wider reach.

We believe that STEM is the foundation for modern-day economic growth and equipping young people with these skills will be critical for Africa’s rise in the digital economy.

Why we do it?

Africa’s over 1 billion population will double by 2050 and 70% will be below the age of 30. Are we preparing our kids for the future of jobs in Africa?

Digital literacy is increasingly becoming an essential life competency and the inability to access or use digital technologies has effectively become a barrier to educational development, social integration and personal development.

Our organization’s focus is consistent with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 on Quality Education, 5 on Gender Equality - empowering women and girls, and 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth. Improving the STEM and digital literacy skills and capabilities in Nigeria, should help reduce inequalities and improve future job opportunities for her citizens.
