In honour of Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation has organised a three-day Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) career awareness and motivation workshop for final-year junior high school pupils from schools in the Tarkwa mine host communities.
The initiative sought to inspire young boys and girls to develop a keen interest in STEM subjects while promoting academic excellence.
It comes amid growing concerns over declining student engagement and participation in STEM-related fields.
The interactive workshop featured career guidance sessions, motivational talks, and personal development discussions designed to ignite curiosity and build confidence among participants.
Celebrated globally, Ada Lovelace Day aims to highlight the achievements of women in STEM and encourage more girls to pursue studies and careers in science and technology.
Gold Fields Ghana Foundation’s celebration of this day underscores its commitment to empowering future innovators and supporting quality education in its host communities.
