The Faculty of Engineering of Koforidua Technical University (KTU), in collaboration with Empower Playgrounds, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has organised an Empower STEM Day for students from selected Junior High Schools in rural communities across the Eastern Region.

The event was held on the University campus on Wednesday, 4th February 2026.

Empower STEM Day is an annual outreach initiative designed to expose young students to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and career opportunities. Activities for the day included guided campus tours, orientation sessions, STEM-focused talks, practical demonstrations, interactive workshops, and career guidance sessions facilitated by faculty professionals from the University.

The programme aimed to inspire students from underserved communities to explore engineering and technical career pathways, while fostering early interest in innovation, problem-solving, and applied science.
