STEM HER FUTURE II: A Community Driven STEM Bootcamp for Girls in Eziobodo Village

STEM HER FUTURE II is a multi-day community-driven STEM outreach programme organised by the IEEE FUTO Student Branch in collaboration with the WAAW Foundation. Held across three secondary schools in the Eziobodo community (spending two days at each school), the bootcamp introduced pre-university students aged 10 to 16 to practical electronics and robotics. Volunteers taught the students the fundamentals of smart security systems and robotics hardware before guiding them through assembling and testing autonomous line-following robotic cars. Students worked hands-on with robotics toolkits to replicate the builds, test sensor tracking along black tape paths, and explore how hardware engineering can solve everyday problems.
