STEAM EDUCATION 

As a PhD candidate in Art Education at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), I have dedicated my research to integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education into hands on projects. My work has focused on how practical learning experiences, such as the design and fabrication of a STEAM Model Cycle Car, can enhance student competencies in problem solving, innovation, and teamwork. By merging theoretical knowledge with real world applications, I aim to bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry needs, equipping students with relevant skills for Ghana’s evolving job market. My research into Cycle Car Technology has provided valuable insights into the integration of engineering, material science, and creative arts in vehicle fabrication. Key contributions include STEAM Competency Development. The research emphasizes creativity, technical knowledge, teamwork, and iterative problem solving, which are essential for modern technological advancements. My work underscores the importance of merging technical skills with artistic innovation to advance education, industry, and sustainable technology in Ghana. By developing a structured approach to STEAM learning, I aim to inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs. 

 

METAL FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY AND MATERIAL INTEGRATION 

With a strong background in metal fabrication, I have worked extensively with local metals, alloys, and composite materials to develop functional and artistic products. My expertise extends to Facilitation of Mobility Solutions. Through this initiative, I facilitated the acquisition of 8 bicycles, 1 motorcycle, and 32 scooters, promoting affordable and sustainable transportation options. Studied and improved traditional Ghanaian aluminum casting methods to find alternative use for these cooking utensils. Integrated leather crafting techniques into metal structures to produce hybrid material innovations in artistic and industrial designs. 

INDOOR METAL WATER FOUNTAINS AND ARTISTIC METALWORK 

Beyond engineering and transportation, I have a deep passion for metal fountain making and aquariums. My work in this field includes Designing Indoor Metal Water Fountains. Creating customized indoor fountains that blend aesthetic appeal with functional water circulation, promoting relaxation and eco-friendly environments. 

Through my contributions to Cycle Car Technology, Material Integration, and Metal Fabrication, I seek to position KNUST as a leader in STEAM-based innovation, fostering practical education and industrial development in Ghana and beyond.
