" Two minds can be greater than one, if they be for each other.
At MCN, we are all interested in creating impact. As such, the magnitude of impact we can make as a team is huge! "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Metis

Project Metis was initially meant to be an online project in collaboration with another Fellow on my campus, Divine. However, due to time and distance constraints, we could not go on. I reached out to some individuals working with a non-profit organisation, Tech4Dev, in my locality which my sister is part of. The organisation seeks to encourage and empower women interested in STEM education.
These individuals and I partnered to organise and execute community outreach programs. We reached out to some schools and were accepted to two. We spoke to over 200 girls in each school encouraging them to pursue their goals and dreams irrespective of gender bias especially in relation to STEM education. We established contact with their Principals in order to continue sharing accessible resources to aid the girls on their journey of empowerment. This project is under SDG4: Quality Education for all and it was successfully completed in October.
