ABOUT US
Odyssey Educational Foundation (OEF) is a registered non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation based in Abuja, Nigeria, focused on bridging the digital gender divide and preparing underserved children for the future of work. We work across practical STEM education, women's technological empowerment, and digital literacy teacher training through programs like our free After-School STEM Clubs, STEM camps, the Technovation Girls Mentorship initiative, and intensive STEM and AI Workshops.
Since 2013, we've been putting coding, robotics, AI, and digital fabrication in the hands of public school girls, and watching them transform into confident creators, software inventors, and global problem solvers. We have reached over 6,000 students across 15 public schools in the Federal Capital Territory and regional partners in states like Bayelsa and Ekiti, partnering with Technovation, UBEB, SEB, the US Embassy, NITDA, Bayelsa Education Development Trust Fund, Hour of AI, and UNESCO to deliver practical, life-changing technical skills and help girls launch competitive community app solutions.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Unlike traditional educational NGOs, 90% of our instructors are full-time, highly trained STEM professionals who bring fully equipped mobile labs featuring laptops, internet access, and 3-in-1 digital fabrication tools directly to state classrooms, thereby ensuring rigorous global learning standards while completely eliminating cost barriers for less privileged children.
