The event was organized by a group of STEAM educators, aiming to inspire and prepare children for the future of work by equipping them with essential digital skills.

Through this sponsorship, Flutterwave recognised the gaps in STEAM skills and committed to address these skills shortage and inspire the next generation of tech entrepreneurs.

The new service enables students, parents, guardians and sponsors to pay school fees to over 40 institutions in the UK, with plans to add more institutions in more countries in Africa and beyond.
