Our practical sessions are as vibrant as ever with science coming to life through samples under the microscope, 3D models and more. Students learn to test water quality as well as DNA-RNA extraction techniques and biosafety practices used in rapid diagnostics for diseases like malaria and hepatitis B. #WACCBIP #DELTASAfrica #SHSOutreach #STEMEducation #STEMEducation #InspiringYoungMinds #FutureScientists

What do science careers look like beyond popular professions like medicine & nursing? Students are exploring the broad career paths in science as they prepare for life after SHS. The presentation provided information on courses across various universities, included a step-by-step application process to the University of Ghana (@UnivofGh), cut-off points for various programmes, and scholarship opportunities available to support their education. #WACCBIP #DELTASAfrica #SHSOutreach #CareerGuidance #Mentorship #STEMEducation #InspiringYoungMinds #FutureScientists

A key presentation –– One Health Approaches to science for a sustainable future connects the earlier climate change discussion to diseases spreading between animals and humans. Students can also plan their future careers in these fields while exploring university programmes, cut-off points, career opportunities and scholarships to guide their next steps in our career pathways session. #WACCBIP #DELTASAfrica #SHSOutreach #STEMEducation #InspiringYoungMinds #FutureScientists

What is climate change, how does it affect us, what career paths can students pursue in this field and where will they work? These were the focus of the Africa Climate Collaborative (@ACCollab_UG) session. Students learned about the Green Economy which is helping to create wealth while reducing waste and had the opportunity share their ideas and ask questions. #WACCBIP #DELTASAfrica #SHSOutreach #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Resilience
