Lego Session: Having a "Blast"

Lego Session: Having a "Blast"

The Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team hosted the 2nd STEM Session, using engaging Lego Mindstorms sets. This innovative program aimed to train beneficiaries in building Lego robots, nurturing their interest and passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and robotics. 


 
 

Hello, I am Fredrick, one of the beneficiaries of Develop Africa and this is my colleague Daniel, and we were part of the Lego program. This is our robot known as Blast, we basically started off with the head which wasn’t too difficult, connected it to the device we were using to control it. We then worked on the body and from there we just took it off. Here is a demonstration of how it worked basically. Thank you very much! 

Your support has made programs like the Lego Mindstorms STEM Session possible, providing hands-on learning experiences that captivate young minds and lay the foundation for future leaders in Sierra Leone.

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
