Telecel Foundation provides robotics training to deaf students in Ghana

The Telecel Foundation has provided hands-on robotics training to 100 students at the Volta School for the Deaf in Hohoe, Volta Region. The workshop, facilitated by the Mingo Foundation, was part of Telecel Ghana’s Care Month celebrations.

The initiative focused on introducing students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through practical activities designed to foster creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Telecel employee volunteers assisted the students in applying theoretical classroom knowledge to engineering projects.

Rita Agyeiwaa Rockson, Foundation, Sustainability and External Communications Manager at Telecel Ghana, stated that the program aims to ensure that ability does not define potential and that every child has the opportunity to explore STEM subjects. The school’s headmaster, Joe Innocent Kodjo Tsameny, noted that the training helps students connect classroom learning with practical experience in an increasingly digital world.
