Bridging Theory and Practice: Celebrating the International Day of Mathematics with AIMS Cameroon
On March 14th, 2025, we had the privilege of joining AIMS Cameroon to celebrate the International Day of Mathematics. This remarkable event brought together over 80 students and teachers from 7 schools in the Fako Division, South West Region. Our goal was to make mathematics more engaging by demonstrating its real-world applications through hands-on learning. During the session, led by our Makerspace Manager Engr Youmbi Harold, students and teachers explored fundamental STEM concepts using the Ntron Ignite Kit™ by Nervtek. They transitioned from theory to practicals by connecting LEDs, adding resistors, understanding color mixing with RGB, and even building the NBot. The excitement in the room was undeniable as participants saw how these theoretical concepts translated into tangible projects. A key highlight of the session was the introduction to 3D printing and drone piloting. Students witnessed how mathematical principles like dimensions and calculations play a crucial role in designing 3D models and understanding drone physics. These insights not only deepened their appreciation for mathematics but also inspired many to explore careers in tech and engineering. It was fascinating to see teachers working alongside students, actively engaging with the projects. And of course, the big question remains—who do you think completed their projects the fastest? Thanks to the Ntron Ignite Kit™, we are more committed than ever to bridging the gap between theory and practice. We look forward to empowering more students with hands-on STEM experiences in the future!
