Many African countries face significant challenges such as a lack of a good education system in STEM subjects thus depriving youth of promising career opportunities and compromising the economic growth at large. The lack of access to stable energy drastically reduces the teaching resources and classroom materials. Without electricity, teachers aren’t able to make copies of school assignments or connect to the Internet to look for materials available online such as videos and other multimedia sources. Additionally, this poses a difficulty for students to study at night without being exposed to harmful gases that affect their health. Stanley is developing solutions for these problems because he experienced them growing up and so are millions of other children across Africa and the world.
