Savelugu School for the Deaf students receive robotics training

More than 80 students at the Savelugu School for the Deaf in Ghana's Northern Region have participated in a two-day practical robotics and electronics training program. Organized by the non-profit Untamed Voices under its Deaf and Dynamic Initiative, the workshop aimed to expand access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education for deaf and hard-of-hearing youth.

Participants engaged in hands-on sessions using Arduino-based kits to learn about engineering, electronics, and coding. The program was implemented in partnership with FemAid360 and the Golden Inspire Foundation. In addition to technical skills, the initiative included sessions on self-advocacy, creative expression, and breast cancer awareness.

To ensure long-term impact, Untamed Voices plans to establish a STEM club at the school. Five students demonstrating high potential and interest were identified to receive ongoing mentorship and technical support. Untamed Voices Director Vincent Yovo stated that the initiative seeks to nurture talent and provide equitable access to innovation for deaf students.
