Technology & Education
Ama Pomaa Boateng, the Member of Parliament for Juaben constituency and Deputy Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, has launched a groundbreaking Robotics training program for 120 students. This initiative is part of a broader global trend where legislators are actively engaging in digital literacy and skill development among youth.
Fostering a Future in Tech
The training, focusing on web development and the Internet of Things (IoT), equips students with vital skills in a rapidly evolving digital world. This hands-on learning experience is a stepping stone for the youth in Juaben, positioning them at the forefront of technological innovation.
In addition to the training, Ama Pomaa Boateng’s commitment to digital literacy extends to providing smart watches and phones to participants, ensuring they have the tools needed to continue their technological journey.
The Pomaa Tech Club, an educational tech initiative founded by Ama Pomaa Boateng, has also been instrumental in this drive. With a significant donation to ICT Centers, the club underscores a long-term vision for sustained technological education in the constituency.
The upcoming trainer program for ICT teachers, in collaboration with the Juaben Municipal Education Directorate, highlights a sustainable approach to building a tech-savvy community. This program is designed to ensure that the momentum in digital education does not wane but continues to grow.
Community Embrace
According to a report by Daily Graphic, Mr. Omane Aboagye, the Municipal Chief Executive, lauded this initiative, emphasizing its potential to significantly impact community development. The program has been met with enthusiasm from parents and guardians, who recognize the transformative power of such educational opportunities for their children.
Ama Pomaa Boateng’s initiative mirrors global efforts to integrate digital skills into youth education. From Africa to Asia, similar programs are being launched, reflecting a global consensus on the importance of equipping the younger generation with the tools to thrive in a digital economy.
The Juaben initiative is more than just a training program; it’s a path for a brighter, technologically empowered future. It sets a precedent for other communities and nations to follow, showcasing how investment in youth and technology can pave the way for progress and innovation.
