From the 15th to 17th August 2023, New Era College and Mathematical Association of Botswana buzzed with excitement as it hosted the 3rd Annual National STEM Hackathon under the theme "Stem Education For The Future". The event brought together eager participants, smart ideas, and important guests to talk about the future.
Our special guests, Mr. Pontsho Pusoitsile, Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Communications, Knowledge, and Technology, and Ms. Bontle Kuhlmann, Acting Director of the Department of Basic Education, shared their thoughts about why STEM education matters.
Throughout the 3 days, participants engaged in a wide array of activities which encouraged them to think outside the box and develop practical solutions to complex issues.
The hackathon was more than just a competition, it was a celebration of knowledge and creativity. It was a chance for everyone to learn, share ideas, and have fun.
