Science and Leadership

The STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) fields are vital areas of study for our students. As an organization, we do our best to supplement their education in these areas and offer opportunities to apply their knowledge and explore these fields outside the classroom.

In January  2023, Project 1808 hosted the Sixth Annual Science and Leadership Festival in Kabala, Koinadugu, Sierra Leone.

Over 1000 participants from across Sierra Leone and overseas were gathered in the northern district to deliberate on the role of science and leadership to accelerate development. The three-day event was held on the theme: ‘STEAM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] and Leadership: Ideas to Action – Building Entrepreneurship, Economic Freedom and Sustainability.’

SciLeadFest 2016 on Wetin Now!?

Coverage of the camp was provided by a local, youth-run news program “Wetin Now!?” as well as several local TV and radio stations. The video features many of our board members as well as our students who aided in organizing and facilitating the event.


Community Science Lab

During the 2023 Science and Leadership Festival, the students showed a great interest in learning how to use scientific tools such as microscopes and thermometers. These tools are now available for use by our students at our office in Kabala and we are working to create a small science lab for our students in order for them to gain vital technical skills.
