Empowering Africa's brightest minds
to become world-class innovators
and leaders in technology.
Programs with Curriculums Designed for Future Innovators
For every single one of our programs at STEAMINA, we don't just teach—we equip students with the mindset, skills, and tools to solve real-world challenges.
Our unique curriculum blends STEM, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship, giving students the ultimate problem-solving playbook to build, innovate, and lead with confidence.
We strongly believe that even the most technical engineers must learn to solve problems with a human-centered approach and present them with clarity and confidence through design thinking principles and entrepreneurial frameworks.
Hands-on STEAM
Students will engage in engineering activities that bring learning to life.
Four Pillars of What We Do
We work tirelessly towards our mission through a variety of strategic initiatives
Summer Programs
We organize transformative one-week summer innovation camps for high school students (ages 13-19) across Africa. Our intensive programs feature three specialized tracks—Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and AI & Robotics—where students build live-size, rideable electric vehicles and master design thinking principles. Each program culminates in Demo Day, where students showcase their innovations and pitch their solutions.
