The workshop, held at the United Nations House, Abuja, ends today, 14 November 2024, and aims to empower Nigerian educators with essential coding, machine learning, and robotics skills to enhance STEM education nationwide.

COGLABS, the pioneer in accessible STEM education, is also thrilled to announce the launch of its groundbreaking mobile app during the event. This innovative app transforms smartphones into powerful AI and robotics tools, empowering learners of all ages to create, learn, and innovate.

The app seamlessly integrates Teachable Machine and Scratch, allowing users to:

By removing the need for laptops and Internet connections, this app democratizes access to STEM education, making it available to anyone with a smartphone.

“We believe that technology should empower everyone, not just a select few,” says Joan Nadal, UNESCO Trainer and E3bot Designer.  “Our app is a step towards breaking down barriers and making STEM education accessible to all.”

Oluwayemisi Ode further emphasized, “Our collaboration with UNESCO and CogLabs is about transforming the future of education in Nigeria. By introducing this mobile app and offering hands-on AI and robotics training, we’re ensuring that STEM education reaches more young people in Nigeria, giving them the tools to excel in a digital world. Through this partnership with UNESCO, we’re equipping educators with the tools they need to inspire and educate the next generation in AI and robotics”.
