The Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN) has affirmed its commitment to dispelling STEM stereotypes through community projects, fostering interest and proficiency in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among girls to encourage careers in engineering.
Engr. Elizabeth Jumoke Eterigho, the association’s president, conveyed this message during the FunSTEM event themed “Introducing Excitement into STEM Learning,” sponsored by Worley in Abuja yesterday.
Explaining the rationale behind FunSTEM, she remarked, “Rural communities grapple with a learning and skills crisis, leaving girls ill-prepared for critical knowledge needed to partake in emerging opportunities, particularly in engineering.”
