The Achimota Senior High School has been crowned the winner of the 2025 Annual Impact Round-table Discussion and Robotics Competition (AIRTAD 2025).

The competition, held in Accra last Tuesday, featured four teams, namely Achimota Senior High School, Accra Academy, Yamoransa Lab 3.1 (YM Lab 3.1) and Yamoransa Lab Liberia (YM Lab Liberia).

It was a key highlight of the two-day AIRTAD 2025 conference.

The AIRTAD 2025 conference aimed to celebrate and assess the progress of the Yamoransa Model Labs Programme, an initiative dedicated to advancing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education across Africa.

AIRTAD 2025 was organised by IMPLEMENTERS, a non-profit project management organisation, in collaboration with the Helping Africa Foundation (HAF).

The conference was held on the theme: “The Yamoransa Model Impact Year: Scaling the Successes of Bridging Educational Gaps with Technology.”

The Yamoransa Model Labs Programme provides solar-powered ICT centres equipped with educational content, multimedia resources, robotics workspaces, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) learning tools and 3D printing facilities to selected communities.

The initiative is funded by the Helping Africa Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Education in various African countries.
