Two young Ghanaian innovators impress Education Minister with ingenious inventions

On October 1, 2024, two young Ghanaian innovators showcased their remarkable talents, leaving a lasting impression on those who witnessed their ingenuity.
These young students, one from Agyakwa and the other from Accra Technical Training Centre (ATTC), have demonstrated the incredible potential of Ghana’s future innovators.
The first, a talented Class 5 student from Agyakwa, caught attention on social media for his creation of a fully automated excavator powered by a hydraulic system—all made in Ghana.
Eager to meet this young inventor, the Education Minister Dr Osei Yaw Adutwum recognized the importance of nurturing his talent.
With the recent approval of the Gifted and Talented programme by Cabinet, there is now a clear pathway to provide support and resources to promising students like him.
The boy’s mother, who was present during the meeting, expressed her dedication to supporting her son's journey, reinforcing the critical role parents play in fostering innovation in their children.
The second standout student, hailing from ATTC, showcased his own impressive creation: a water pollutant collector designed to clean Ghana's water bodies.
This invention, the Minister said comes at a crucial time as the country intensifies efforts to address environmental sustainability challenges.
With Ghana’s increasing focus on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, students are being equipped with hands-on skills to tackle real-world problems, he concluded.
