CHILDREN OF SCIENCE
Providing Quality STEM Education through Online Learning in Low-Access Countries
About Our Project
Online STEM Education for Zambian Girls
Our project connects global volunteers with bright girls in Zambia who lack access to quality education in STEM fields. Through online classes, tailored educational materials, and regular monitoring, we aim to improve their skills and educational progress. By empowering these girls, we increase their chances of entering prestigious universities and pursuing successful careers.
OUR VISION
Driving Impact, Equality, and Innovation in Education
- Social ImpactThe project makes a significant social impact by providing talented children from underprivileged backgrounds with access to high-quality education, particularly in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). In countries like Zambia, where educational opportunities are limited, many children miss out on the chance to receive proper education. We are offering them an opportunity to learn subjects that will open doors to brighter futures, expanding their career prospects and personal growth. This initiative also upholds ethical principles by providing equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their socio-economic or geographical background.
- Technological SolutionsThe project leverages cutting-edge technological solutions to create a systematic educational process. All of our materials and the online platform have been developed with the best practices in education and technology in mind. We have utilized the latest technologies to create effective educational tools, including a tracking and monitoring system that allows real-time progress assessments. This ensures that each student receives personalized support throughout their learning journey. By incorporating technology, we not only enhance the quality of education but also make it accessible to even the most remote regions of the world.
- ScalabilityA key feature of this project is its scalability. Currently, the project serves several schools in Lusaka, Zambia, but our goal is to develop an educational system that can be easily replicated across other schools, cities, and countries with limited access to quality education. We are working towards creating a model that is both universal and adaptable, allowing for rapid and efficient expansion. This will enable us to reach more children in various countries, broadening the social impact of the project and scaling its educational benefits globally.
- Gender EqualityIn countries with limited educational resources, gender equality is often at risk. When family budgets are tight, boys are usually prioritized for schooling, as they are traditionally seen as future breadwinners. This creates a significant disparity in the educational opportunities available to girls. The project is dedicated to addressing this issue by offering girls access to high-quality STEM education, thereby broadening their horizons and breaking down the barriers that hinder their development. Our focus is on creating equal opportunities for all, empowering girls to build successful careers and realize their potential.
How Our Project Was Born
"I’ve always believed that the things that matter should be connected to what you can do for others. My journey into education wasn’t straightforward, but when I realized I could help through education, it all fell into place.
In Zambia, education is a luxury, especially for girls. Families often can’t afford the fees, and boys are prioritized. That’s when I knew I had to make a change.
That’s how “Children of Science: Africa” was born. I started teaching online math and science to girls who had no other chance to learn. These subjects open doors to new opportunities and change lives.
Now, seeing the girls begin to understand these subjects, I know we’re doing something important. It’s not about me—it’s about all of us, making a difference together, one step at a time. And I’m grateful to be part of it. 🌱"

IMPACT IN ACTION
Our Key Achievements in Educational Development
-
Comprehensive Educational MethodologyWe have developed a detailed educational methodology, including a tailored curriculum for STEM subjects across three age groups. This methodology is designed to address the unique needs of students in regions with limited access to educational resources, ensuring that every lesson is effective, engaging, and relevant to the learners' level. -
Building Volunteer Expertise.
A System for Effective TeachingA well-structured volunteer training system has been established to prepare individuals from around the world to teach effectively. We have created a detailed volunteer handbook, outlining best practices for teaching, and developed an ongoing support system that ensures volunteers are equipped with the tools and knowledge to succeed in this unique educational environment. -
Student and Technology IntegrationIn our efforts to ensure that Zambian students have access to modern education, we have taught them to use laptops and essential software for conducting lessons. This initiative empowers students to not only learn STEM subjects but also gain critical digital literacy skills that are essential in today’s technological world. -
Development of Custom IT PlatformWe are in the process of creating a custom-built online IT platform specifically designed for this project. This platform will facilitate the seamless delivery of lessons, management of educational content, and monitoring of student progress, ensuring that the educational process remains efficient and scalable across multiple regions. -
Physical Learning Resources and InfrastructureTo support the educational process, we have established a physical library with books and a chemistry laboratory in Zambia, providing students with hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, calculators and laptops have been provided to the students, ensuring they have the necessary tools to succeed in their studies. -
Progress Monitoring and Career Path AssessmentWe are developing a comprehensive system to monitor the academic progress of our students through regular tests and assessments, ensuring that their learning achievements are tracked and supported. Additionally, we are working on a system to assess each student's professional inclinations, using tools to identify their strengths and determine the most suitable career paths, helping them unlock their full potential.
Our Greatest Achievement: The Volunteers
At the core of the project are the passionate and dedicated volunteers who make everything possible. They lead online STEM lessons and provide essential exam preparation for the girls, driving the success of our mission. Their unwavering commitment ensures that each lesson is impactful, empowering the students and giving them the opportunity for a brighter future. We deeply value their contribution, as they are the ones shaping the next generation of learners.
Currently, the project has 15 active and trained volunteers. As we expand the number of students, we are recruiting more teaching volunteers.

The Faces of Our Mission
For the past six months, we’ve run a pilot project with five girls to test and refine our system. These girls completed their assessments with impressive results, proving the effectiveness of our approach.
After this success, we expanded the project to 39 students across three age groups, with whom we’re currently working.
Next year, we plan to include girls from other schools in the Lusaka area, eventually expanding throughout Zambia. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited about the growth and impact to come.
