The Ashesi Innovation Experience is an intense and exciting two-week enrichment program developed by faculty at Ashesi for senior high school students between the ages of 15 and 19. AIX expands the vision and broadens the aims of students, inspires them, challenges them, and equips them with concrete skills for innovation in the 21st Century: skills in leadership, design thinking, entrepreneurship, robotics programming, creative arts and engineering. AIX 2019 will be held from Sunday 4th August to Sunday 18th August.
Students who participate in AIX will:
- Be exposed to the science of design and creative problem solving, leadership, entrepreneurship, robotics programming and engineering, through hands-on projects and experiential learning;
- Be ambassadors of Ashesi’s mission wherever they find themselves; to spread the spirit of ethics, integrity, leadership and citizenship;
