Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) Ghana has handed over a GH2.28 million ultra-modern Robotics Centre to the Mamfe Girls Senior High School (MEGHISS) as part of the communications giant 25th anniversary celebration.

The Robotics centre has a 100-seater hall with partitions for Robotics training and practice, a Research room with computers for teachers and students, Robotics equipment, furniture and internet access.

The centre is expected to serve as a training hub for the students to explore, experiment and innovate through hands-on experience, building and inventing using tools like LEGO and Rev Robots and 3D Printer Masking, which is a common feature in such laboratories.

Mr Selorm Adadevoh, Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, said the decision to build the Robotics centre for the school was motivated by the unprecedented accomplishments of the school in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Robotics over the years.

“You have challenged the widely held notion that STEM is exclusively for boys having been crowned two-time champions of the World Robotic competition, surpassing 5,000 teams worldwide.”
