Our Story

We started this because the children couldn't wait.

STEM Education for Children Foundation was built on a simple but urgent belief: every Nigerian child — regardless of where they grow up or what their family earns — deserves access to hands-on, practical STEM education that builds real skills and opens real doors.

Founded by Rahila Namah, a Computer Engineer from Zuru, Kebbi State, the Foundation launched its first After-School STEM Club in Lagos in January 2026 with 14 children. We've been building ever since.

"I kept waiting until I was comfortable enough to start. Then I realised — the children can't wait for me to be comfortable."
— Rahila Namah, Founder

Our Programmes

Learning that sticks because you built it yourself

We don't teach from textbooks. We teach through building, testing, failing, and trying again. Every session is a real experiment. Every project is a real solution to a real problem.

🏫

After-School STEM Club

Our flagship 8-week programme brings children aged 7–13 together once a week for hands-on STEM learning using low-cost, locally available materials — culminating in a public Project Exhibition.

🚐

Mobile STEM Hubs

STEM hubs that travel across communities to bring hands-on science and technology experiences to children who might otherwise never encounter them. No fixed school needed.

🌍

Career Guidance & Mentorship

We connect students with STEM professionals for mentorship, career talks, and access to scholarship opportunities — widening horizons beyond the classroom.

Our Impact

Small numbers.
Enormous momentum.

We started with 14 children and one classroom. Every number below represents a real child who built something they'd never built before — and who discovered they could.
