Lancaster University Ghana (LUG), in partnership with the KGL Foundation, has successfully concluded its 8-week Emerging Technologies Centre (ETC) Bootcamp, a transformative hands-on learning programme designed to introduce young people to emerging technologies and practical innovation.
The bootcamp brought together over 30 Senior High School students from 10 underserved and international schools. The students had an immersive experience in artificial intelligence, robotics, coding, microcontrollers, smart systems, and advanced 3D printing.
Over the eight weeks, participants took part in intensive hands-on training, collaborative teamwork, peer-to-peer mentorship, and insightful guest lectures. This fostered their creativity, problem-solving skills, and technological curiosity.
The ETC Bootcamp forms part of Lancaster University Ghana’s broader commitment to expand access to STEM education, particularly for young people from underserved communities. By engaging students early and providing hands-on exposure to emerging technologies, the University is contributing to a pipeline of future engineers, innovators, and technology leaders.
The KGL Foundation supported this programme by enabling the bootcamp’s successful implementation and reinforcing a shared vision of youth empowerment, digital inclusion, and skills development in Ghana
Lancaster University Ghana and the KGL Foundation are not just preparing students for tomorrow, they are helping them build it today.
