The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, through its Centre of Excellence for ICT East Africa (CENIT@EA), has actively engaged in outreach efforts to promote the significance of science and mathematics education in two primary schools: Nganana and Nambala in Arumeru District Council, Arusha.

During a recent visit on March 21, 2024, Dr. Judith Leo, a Lecturer and Academic and Industrial Linkage Coordinator (EMoS), along with Master's Degree students specializing in Mobile Embedded Systems (EMoS), interacted with the students. They emphasized that while science and mathematics may seem daunting, success in these subjects is achievable through personal effort and a genuine interest in the topics.

Moreover, the Master's Degree students provided hands-on demonstrations of various scientific equipment and computer applications. They aimed to showcase how these tools can be utilized to identify and address societal challenges effectively.

Seth Odwar, a Master's Degree student from Kenya, encouraged the students to prioritize mathematics, highlighting its relevance across various fields of study. He also emphasized the crucial role of science in tackling contemporary societal issues.

Representing her peers, Jackline Mushi expressed gratitude to the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology for empowering them with practical skills and knowledge. She specifically acknowledged the institution's efforts in enhancing their proficiency with scientific equipment and computer technologies.

The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology operates within a framework of five business models, one of which prioritizes outreach and community engagement.
