The Accra College of Education through its Teaching and Learning Resource Centre, collaborated with Transforming Teaching, Education and Learning (T-TEL) to commemorate International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGS) 2022. The day aimed to recognise the role of women and girls in science and the need to support, encourage and empower more women and girls to pursue science as a career.<\/p>

To mark this day, the College and T-TEL visited the Accra Wesley Girls High School in Kaneshie, Accra, on February 11 2022, to conduct easy science experiments. The experiments were a donation from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) in the UK given to the college to support its outreach efforts to local schools in the Greater Accra region.<\/p>

In her opening remark, the headmistress of the school Ms Leticia Bray expressed her delight at the opportunity presented to the school to engage in science activities to mark IDWGS. According to her, opportunities like this will enhance female participation and encourage them to pursue more STEM careers for \u201cwe cannot do without science\u201d in our daily living. She also added that the visit by T-TEL and the College was appropriate as it ties with the plans of the Ministry of Education for schools to commemorate IDWGS.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Following her remark, Ms Perpetual Sroda Wadjoly, a newly trained teacher from St. Teresa\u2019s College of Education, facilitated the process by supporting the students through a step-by-step guide on Building-a-Torch and creating Paper Helicopters. With support from teachers from the science department, each student built a torch. Tools needed to produce the torchlight were a foam core, two batteries, LED light, and two polystyrene layers. The 5-step experiment procedure resulted in each student building their own torchlight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
