Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>ExxonMobil Mo\u00e7ambique, Limitada in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) and the implementing partner Osuwela launched the ASTROBOT Robotics Education Program for secondary schools in Maputo City and Maputo Province.<\/p>\n

The ASTROBOT STEM (science, technology, education and mathematics) program which ExxonMobil has supported since 2020, will continue to support the secondary schools of Josina Machel, Francisco Manyanga, Estrela Vermelha, Magoanine, Laulane and Noroeste 1 while adding to the roster the secondary schools of Matola, Machava, Liberdade, For\u00e7a do Povo, Malhazine and Zona Verde. In total, the program will benefit 200 students and 36 teachers from 12 schools in the greater Maputo area.<\/p>\n

The program, which trains teachers and students to assemble and perform numerous activities with the tools available in the robotics kit, develop strategies and program the robots, will culminate in an interscholastic robotic competition expected at the end of the school year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSTEM education is a key pillar of ExxonMobil\u2019s global community investment strategy and is critical to the development of Mozambique.\u201d Said Jos Evens, General Manager for ExxonMobil Mo\u00e7ambique, Limitada. \u201cThese initiatives provide opportunities and incentives for student retention and development at school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noroeste 1, winners of the 2021 robotics interscholastic competition that saw six schools fiercely compete for the prize, received the schools trophy from the Deputy Minister of Education and Human Development during the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government is proud to partner with responsible partners to deliver key initiatives that support the development of our youth.\u201d Said the Deputy Minister of Education and Human Development, Manuel Banzo during the launch of the program at the Ministry. \u201cThis program will promote the development of problem solving skills which is a vital asset for the students\u2019 personal development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zeferino Martins, President of Osuwela said, \u201cWe are proud to expand the ASTROBOT project to the schools in Maputo and reach so many more students. Robotics is an open door for the professions of Science and Technology, fundamental for the development of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
