Hands-on science education in South Africa - "I am a Scientist" - #playafrica #stem #stemeducation
How do we bridge education opportunity gaps to promote equitable science outcomes in South Africa?
With support from 3M, Play Africa helps children discover the wonder of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in the world all around them, inspired by local STEM experts and authentic materials.
With a focus on STEM equity and quality science education for all, "I am a Scientist" brings the excitement of STEM to South African children of different backgrounds, ages and abilities - creating a more diverse future workforce by showing every child that she or he can become a scientist!
Play Africa’s “I am a Scientist” programme is made possible by a grant from 3M, a science, technology and manufacturing company based in St. Paul, MN, USA. 3M recently announced a new global, education-focused goal to advance economic equity by creating five million unique STEM and skilled trades learning experiences for underrepresented individuals by the end of 2025.
“Together with our partners, we’re helping children learn that they can be changemakers,” said Play Africa CEO Gretchen Wilson-Prangley. “Children are full citizens in our society, and we’re helping them learn skills today to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. We want children to know that science is all around them, wherever they are, and that a lifelong passion for science can be ignited anywhere.”
