D&E STEM Conference

Develop and Elevate (D&E) STEM Ghana 2023

"THE MIND THAT OPENS TO A NEW IDEA NEVER RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL SIZE."

Albert Einstein

The Develop and Elevate 2023 conference in Ghana aims to promote innovative thinking through collaborations among students, teachers, academic institutions and industry within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics sector. Delegates will have the opportunity to interact with day-to-day STEM simulations and artefacts while engaging with industry experts to increase awareness of STEM careers available to them by providing resources to support with career paths.

The Regional Education Directorate has approved the proposed partnership with Develop and Elevate. We are happy and ready to welcome your support in promoting STEM education in the Region.

Our STEM Unit is one of the most vibrant departments and have over the years done a lot in promoting STEM education from the basic to senior high schools. This collaboration in aid of raising awareness in STEM, innovation and human capital development is in alignment with our core responsibilities.

Mrs. Ivy Asantewa Owusu
Regional Director, Ghana Education Service (E)

I am excited to welcome everyone to the STEM conference this year at All Nations University, Ghana. STEM education is the future of Africa, if Africa is to develop. Young minds need to be exposed to STEM education to tackle challenges with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. I believe that this conference will do just that in providing opportunities to explore avenues within the STEM field. I am thankful to EL Empire Professional Services for holding the Develop and Elevate STEM Ghana Conference 2023 at All Nations University.

Dr. Samuel Donkor
