How has winning helped STEM Belle?

“Winning the Innovating Science Award in 2019 was a game changer for us. Thanks to the visibility and support we received, we successfully rolled out The STEM Belle Teachers Fellowship, a 21st century standard teachers training and development program for teachers from low income community schools, and we have launched The STEM Belle Teachers kit to aid these teachers deliver effective STEM classes in low income community schools. This has never happened before in Nigeria.�
