From ideas to apps! 💻 In week six, #TTOSICT young mentees explored algorithms, coding, and their first introduction to MIT App Inventor. More than programming, they built problem-solving, logical thinking, and creativity as essential skills. #GCYLP @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

🩺🌍 What if the person who transforms the health of an entire community is sitting in a classroom today?
This Friday, #STEMChats continues under the #TTOSICT Mentorship with Dr. @koitiemmily as we explore how healing communities go beyond hospitals. @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

🚀From Juba to space! A simple question like, “What do you see when you look up?” could inspire #SouthSudan's future space engineers. During #STEMChats session, young learners explored satellites and the solar system with guest mentor @ZAMBASON. #GCYLP @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

Week 5 was all about introducing young learners to AI, not just how to use it but also how to use it responsibly. #TTOSICT #STEMEducation #DigitalSkills

📢 #STEMChats is here! Career conversations at school. 🛰️If satellites can help us understand Earth, what could young people achieve if we gave them the right opportunities to learn? Tomorrow, we will be joined by @ZAMBASON to discuss everything space. @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

Week 4 was all about #DesignThinking! 💡Students explored real problems in their schools and communities, then reimagined how tech. could help solve them. One thing is clear: young ppl. are natural innovators when given space to think, collab. & create. @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

Architecture isn't just about buildings; it's about solving problems. 🏗️ During #STEMChats, Alex Albino shared how arch. can improve classrooms, hospitals, homes, and communities. His journey shows that every challenge is an opportunity to create solns. @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

Do you remember the first time you touched a computer? For many mentees in week 3 of the #TTOSICT School Mentorship Programme, it was their first experience with basic computer skills; typing, word processing, the internet & using search engines. #GCYLP @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

[GoGirls ICT Initiative @gogirlsictjuba]

A mentor's role isn't to have all the answers; it's to inspire the right questions.

Two weeks into #TTOSICT: Mentors leading, learners exploring #technology, and confidence growing one session at a time. #GCYLP #STEMEducation #DigitalSkills @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

[GoGirls ICT Initiative @gogirlsictjuba]

💡 Digital access is more than owning a device; it’s understanding how technology works and having the confidence to use it.

In week two, learners explored types of computers, their uses, and the difference between hardware and software. 🚀#GCYLP @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei

#SSOX From “computers are confusing” to “I want to learn more about computers” in one week! We covered student expectations, career goals, and computing basics. The main success? Boosting confidence and curiosity about tech. #STEMEducation #ICT4D @grace_gaso @ITU @Huawei
