EduLogix
IIT is a Learning Affiliate of the Energy Institute - Engineering Council of the United Kingdom (UK).
Attendance is free!
The EduLogix, an initiative of the Institute for Industrial Technology (IIT), aims at addressing the huge deficiency in S.T.E.M education among senior secondary school students and leavers of science and technical orientation. This initiative intends to provide short quality training that would positively affect the lives of many students, creating an undying interest in S.T.E.M and TVET within them, and lead them to careers that can address issues in the Nigerian technological environment.
Through a project-based approach, participants would learn to solve day-to-day challenges.
This initiative also tends to address issues around student’s personal effectiveness and leadership. Students will be help to realise how they can lead themselves and others. Personal effectiveness and leadership modules from the International Youth Foundation (IYF) skills curriculum will be implemented.
IIT would implement the EduLogix initiative through a hybrid model i.e., a combination of in-class and online training.
