Intelsat, a leading global satellite operator, and MaxIQ Space, an educational resource provider, are expanding their Africa Space STEM Programme to reach more students across the continent.
Now in its fifth year, the initiative will grow to include 12 schools, emphasising in person learning in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Senegal.
The newly adopted 2025 edition will impact African education systems, ensuring thousands of students gain the skills and inspiration needed to pursue STEM careers.
Furthermore, by promoting a future ready workforce, the programme contributes to national development goals and strengthens Africa’s technological capabilities.
As a pioneer in satellite technology, Intelsat remains committed to inspiring the next generation and connecting African students to real world applications of space technology.
We are continuously investing in local satellite ground infrastructure across the continent and are honoured to play a role in preparing young minds for the future.
With Africa emerging as a key frontier for space infrastructure, equipping future leaders with the knowledge and skills to drive this transformation is essential.
Partnering with Intelsat to deliver this STEM program is an exciting opportunity to empower young minds and support the growth of technology and education in the region.
