Objective
The YCEM and Dunk event is a 3-day event that aims to excite yong girls into engineering. The event will feature a series of workshops and training sessions on basic computer skills, coding, and solving real-life problems with arduino and other tech-related topics. The goal is to empower the community members with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the digital age.
Projects
Temperature-based Fans
This project involves building fans that automatically turn on or adjust speed based on the temperature. This is particularly useful in Ghana, where the climate can be very hot, making it a practical solution for cooling homes and classrooms efficiently.
Why: Learning how to build and program these fans will teach students about sensors, programming, and energy efficiency, all of which are important aspects of electrical engineering.
ICT Introduction
This project will introduce students to the basics of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), including how to use computers, navigate the internet, and understand the importance of digital literacy in today's world.
Why: In a rapidly digitizing world, having a solid foundation in ICT is crucial. This project aims to bridge the digital divide and equip young girls with essential skills for future academic and career opportunities.
Automated Plant Watering System
This project will guide students in creating an automated system that waters plants based on soil moisture levels. This is particularly useful for agriculture in Ghana, where efficient water use is vital for crop success.
Why: Agriculture is a significant part of Ghana's economy. Learning to automate plant watering introduces concepts of environmental sustainability, engineering, and technology, inspiring students to innovate in the agricultural sector.
