Flagship programme

GREEN STEM Programme

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics for a greener Africa.

About the programme

Curiosity first, green careers next

GREEN STEM is a main EWAH NEXUS programme. It brings together science, technology, engineering, mathematics, environmental education and practical sustainability challenges. It starts with curiosity, moves through projects and mentoring, and creates pathways toward green careers, enterprise and community service.

Its seven subprogrammes form a single programme family, so every learner follows the same process.
