The summer which began on July 24 and ended September 2 trained over 50 teenagers and youths on Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics education.

He said his passion was to expose the children to science, technology engineering, mathematics and robotics by employing experts to engage them.
Several teenagers and youths were trained in robotics and were presented with certificates, while some of them demonstrated what they have learnt in robotics.
