RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Ermias Hailemariam, dedicated father and US Army veteran, is the proud owner of the STEM For Kids® franchise in Ethiopia. Hailemariam's journey from Ethiopia to the United States, coupled with his passion for quality education, has led to his return to his homeland to spearhead the introduction of cutting-edge STEM education for African youth.

Hailemariam's story began with his arrival in the US in the mid-90s, where he pursued higher education and served in the military. After completing his Bachelor's and Master's degrees, he settled in the DC Metro-Virginia area. As devoted parents, Hailemariam and his wife sought ways to provide their children with the best primary education amidst the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Driven by desire to prepare their children for the future, Hailemariam delved into entrepreneurship, recognizing the need to equip youth with STEM skills from an early age. His search for an educational solution led him to STEM for Kids, a comprehensive program that integrates engineering, programming, and robotics into a fun and engaging curriculum.

"STEM for Kids was the complete package for us," said Hailemariam and added, "STEM for Kids brings the solution [for educators worldwide]… Curriculum was second to none, truly making STEM fun for kids, bringing engineering to kids' level, and making them problem solvers. "

"We are the first to bring STEM For Kids to Africa, where such opportunities are limited. We are driven by the fact that these kids are getting world class instructions to inspire their creativity [and learning]," says Hailemariam.

Hailemariam's vision for the future includes expanding STEM education to more African countries, creating opportunities for diverse students to excel in science and technology.

Hailemariam invites collaboration with schools and communities interested in embracing STEM education. Through hands-on projects and real-world applications, STEM for Kids Ethiopia aims to inspire creativity and innovation among youth, preparing them for success in the 21st-century workforce.
