About

STEAMonWheels is designed level the playing field and inspire young minds, especially girls and boys aged 13 to 20, with the vibrant opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).

Design benchmark

I drew STEAMonWheels inspiration from the groundbreaking work of Canada's Code Mobile project, realizing the pressing need for wider STEAM education accessibility. We filled this need, designing STEAMonWheels to serve the youth between 14 and 20 years.

Fundraising

STEAMonWheels was brought to life with the support of OECD and philantropy donors, raising over $145,000 for implementation. I raised the funds by writing grant proposals to UNICEF, Swiss Development Agency, Global Funds for Children. These finances facilitate everything from the acquisition of our bus to the procurement of state-of-the-art equipment.

Transformative Visual Branding

I took the reins to design our visual branding elements, focusing on a young, dynamic appeal. From conceptualizing our unique logo to crafting an engaging pattern design for our bus, the visual branding of STEAMonWheels echoes our commitment to making STEAM engaging and approachable
