DESCRIPTION:ElectroRural: Sparking STEM Interest through Basic Electronics 
 in Rural Nigerian Schools\nThis outreach program will take place at Bishop
  Crowther Seminary School\, Awka\, Anambra State\, Nigeria\, and will intr
 oduce students to the fundamentals of electronics through interactive\, ha
 nds-on workshops. Participants will learn to identify basic electronic com
 ponents\, build simple circuits\, and understand how electronics power eve
 ryday devices. The initiative will aim to ignite curiosity\, promote probl
 em-solving skills\, and inspire students to consider future careers in STE
 M fields. By providing practical exposure and mentorship\, ElectroRural wi
 ll bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world applications\, f
 ostering innovation and self-confidence among rural youth.\n\nCo-sponsored
