## **Activity** 

The charity has this continued to gain income from sales of the Global STEM Award. This is forecast to rise next year as the award has been integrated into further education programmes. 

In 2023/24 his year supported a STEM project in Karimenga, Ghana with the donation of 5 laptops and a package of resources to train teachers in coding using the Crumble software. The photo here shows the classroom in which students were working. Some pictures are included below. The support was requested by the school in Karimenga and was delivered by a friend of the charity, John Burley, in November 2023. 

Note from John Burley during the visit _The classes in Karimenga have been a great success so far, there are about 30 children in the classes along with quite a few teachers. They seem very keen about learning STEM however they’re having a few issues which I’m working on resolving._
