LUG, KGL Foundation bootcamp to showcase next generation of tech innovators ends

Lancaster University Ghana (LUG), in partnership with the KGL Foundation, has successfully concluded its eight-week Emerging Technologies Centre (ETC) Bootcamp.

The programme is a transformative, hands-on learning initiative designed to introduce young people to emerging technologies and practical innovation.

The bootcamp brought together over 30 Senior High School students from 10 underserved and international schools for an immersive experience in artificial intelligence, robotics, coding, microcontrollers, smart systems and advanced 3D printing.

Over the eight-week period, participants engaged in intensive hands-on training, collaborative teamwork, peer-to-peer mentorship and insightful guest lectures, all aimed at fostering creativity, problem-solving skills and technological curiosity.

Addressing the press in Accra yesterday, Dr Emmanuel Arthur underscored Lancaster University Ghana’s commitment to excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly for young people from underserved communities.

He noted that the institution’s overarching goal is to contribute meaningfully to the development of a robust pipeline of future engineers, innovators and technology leaders.

Dr Arthur explained that the programme was delivered in partnership with the KGL Foundation, whose support enabled the successful implementation of the bootcamp and reinforced a shared vision of youth empowerment, digital inclusion and skills development in Ghana.

“Lancaster University Ghana and the KGL Foundation are not just preparing students for tomorrow; they are helping them build it today,” he added.
