Experimento in Nigeria
Overview of Experimento in Nigeria
- Since 2016, we’ve worked with academics and practitioners on implementing Experimento
- Deployment in Lagos, Nigeria

- Training for about 150 educators
- Around 27,200* children reached
* The number assumes that every instructed kindergarten or elementary school teacher shares the knowledge 5 times with one group or class, and a subject teacher shares it 5 times with two classes.
Country-specific aspects
We work with the University of Lagos, the Lagos Energy Academy, and the local NGO “Empowering Africans through Education” on implementing Experimento. The Experimento multipliers have both an academic and a practical background, meaning they are particularly adept at communicating the importance of science and technology knowledge for everyday life.
Baseline study at launch
The long-term goal of Experimento is to make significant improvements to science education in public schools. When the program was introduced in Nigeria, a baseline study was conducted to serve as a starting for evaluating the program’s future progress and success.
