The Innovation Camp of the STEM Angola 2025 Project, promoted by ADPP in partnership with the Ministry of Education and INFQE, with funding from Block 15 (ExxonMobil Angola), marked a decisive step in strengthening teachers’ technical and professional skills and in advancing students’ scientific development in Angola.

The event took place in Luanda and brought together 66 students from primary, lower, and upper secondary education, representing eight provinces. On July 17, the delegations visited the Luanda Science Centre, deepening the link between theory and practice. The following day, competitions were held at the Luanda Industrial Polytechnic Institute (Macarenco), in the presence of institutional representatives, partners, and members of the educational community.

The STEM Project – focused on the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – has been promoting school clubs and local competitions, culminating in this national gathering that celebrates students’ talent, creativity, and investigative spirit.

In the Projects category, Bié Province won first place with 15 points, followed by Benguela (14.5) and Huambo (14). In the Science competitions, the winners were Janete (Uíge), Domingas (Bié), and Elvio (Huambo), representing Primary, Lower Secondary, and Upper Secondary education, respectively.

The winners received STEM medals, computers, tablets, and smartphones. All participants were awarded t-shirts, caps, and, soon, certificates and diplomas of merit.

STEM Angola continues to establish itself as a key pillar in transforming education in the country, promoting innovation, critical thinking, and creative solutions to the challenges of the contemporary world.
