STEM CENTER
Kallamino STEM center
Kallamino Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Center is the brain child of Mr. Mark I Gelfand an American Citizen who is sponsor of the Center.
Taking the great capability and interest of KSHS students in to account, Tigrai Development Association was looking for Development Partners who have strong interest in expanding STEM in Africa. In this sense, it couldn’t be difficult to find Gelfand Family Charitable Trust (GFCT) at the top of the list.
After fruitful discussions with GFCT and development of proposals, Kallamino STEM Center established in 2011 G.C at 7 km south of Mekelle. Following this, the center officially started operating under the usual motto of GFCT “Inside every child is a scientist” into four labs. Labs running in Kallamino STEM center include Optics, Mechanics, Electronics & Electrical, and IT.
Vision
- To create a model Science and Engineering Center which serves as a forum for early identification and cultivating of promising scientists and engineers
Mission
- To develop an enriched curriculum and to reinforce science education by providing additional hands on training to students who have interest and capability in science and engineering field
Objective
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Kallamino Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Center includes four sub sections within and these are Optics, Mechanics, Electronics & Electrical and IT. Integration of those major sections expected to lead others in experiments, innovations, training, etc. The aim of this project is to initiate students ability to create and done new projects and innovations in relation to what they have learned in theory and also helping and guiding students and other departments especially Natural Science. In general it is responsible to provide students a variety of rich learning experiences in the field of science and engineering.
