ABOUT STEMBEES
Building a community of Sisters in STEM — a SiSTEM.
STEMbees® is a non-profit encouraging and mentoring young African females to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — particularly girls from underserved communities and low-income backgrounds.
Founded in 2014
STEMbees was founded by Linda Ansong, Angela Koranteng and Lady-Omega Hammond, sparked during their entrepreneurial training at MEST Africa — where only four of twenty trainees were women.
Having been among the few women in their undergraduate STEM courses at KNUST, the founders set out to support girls and young women pursuing STEM education and careers.
"There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish." –Michelle Obama

FROM A PARENT
"She came home and explained her circuit to her little brother. That confidence is what I was paying for — the robot was a bonus."

Parent questions
Straight answers, before you have to call.
Does she need her own laptop?
Yes. However spare laptops, robot kits and all materials are provided at the Hub.
Can we pay in instalments?
Yes — half at enrolment, half before week six. Mobile Money or card.
What if she misses a Saturday?
She can always join our Tuesday online class or the get in touch with her tutor to catch up
What if she has never coded before?
Most of our students start with zero experience. The first three weeks assume nothing.
Is there transport?
We do not run a bus, but the Hub is on Dansoman High Street close to Liberty.
Can boys attend?
Yes. We support mixed classes but highly encourage the enrolment of female students.
