STEM Training at Cor Mariae Girls Secondary School, Aba.
We took our STEM program to Cor Mariae Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School Umungasi Aba
On the first day, we introduced them to Computer-Aided Design (Use of software to design objects and products) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (Use of software to automate and control manufacturing machines), equipping them with digital skills and preparing them for the future of work.
On the second day of the training, we introduced the girls to digital electronics and computer programming using Arduino microcontroller board.
The students were able to program the Arduino board using M block graphical programming software.
Experiment plays many roles in science one of which is to test theories and provide a basis for scientific knowledge.
With our indigenous Pressure STEM kits, the students of Cor Mariae secondary school experimented the principle of transmission of fluid pressure; Pascal’s law.
The Clintonel team had an interesting engagement with the Rector, Dean of Engineering and some key stakeholders in Abia State Polytechnic Aba Abia State (Abiapoly) on Engineering for Industry (E4I).
Join us to launch the map of Nigeria Hardware (Engineering) Ecosystem.
The map will help to collate data, understand the ecosystem, showcase players in the ecosystem, enhance collaboration, advertise hardware-related businesses, and facilitate the growth of the hardware (Engineering) ecosystem.
During the Nigeria Hardware Convention 2021 held at Clintonel Innovation Centre – CIC Aba, we embarked on a project to map the Nigerian hardware ecosystem.
The map will help to collate data, understand the ecosystem, showcase players in the ecosystem, enhance collaboration, advertise hardware-related businesses, and facilitate the growth of the hardware ecosystem.
The data collection was started at the convention and later extended as an online survey.
We have successfully completed the mapping of the ecosystem and plan to launch the map on Thursday 10th February 2022, by 3:00 – 4:00pm (Zoom).
The CLINTONEL team had strategic meetings with the directors, permanent secretaries and commissioners of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation in Abia State.
With the CLINTONEL’s expertise and international partnerships in engineering innovation, STEM/engineering education and advanced manufacturing technology, there is a lot we can do to advance education, technology, engineering and manufacturing in different states and the entire nation.
STEM kits are great tools for building creativity and ingenuity. They enable students to learn through experiments.
To advance STEM education in Nigeria, we design and produce indigenous STEM Kits. The PCBs for our LED STEM kits are fabricated in our makerspace using our desktop CNC machines.
During the STEM training at St Anthony and Jude College Aba, we introduced the students to digital electronics, Arduino programming and electronic components.
They also learnt about the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system makes use of pressurized liquid to perform work and operates on the basic principle of transmission of motion and power through incompressible liquids.
The students were so excited to engage in this practical application of science.
The students were also introduced to the amazing world of 3d printing technology.
Today, This Is Engineering is celebrating the efforts of incredible engineers who are helping to shape a better and more sustainable society for everyone.
Engineering innovations are vital to tackling problems in our society and today we are celebrating all engineers who are in one way or the other solving problems in our society through engineering innovations.
