Governor's Representative immortalizes event with WEC President and participants.
In a bold move to shatter the glass ceiling, Women in Engineering Cameroon (WEC) under the visionary leadership of Tim Immaculate Koti, has launched a groundbreaking STEM competition that is redefining the future of innovation in Cameroon. This pioneering event, held on March 30, 2025, in Bamenda, has brought together a diverse array of talented young females aged 10-15 who are daring to challenge the norms and push the boundaries of what is possible.
As the curtains drew open, the audience was treated to a spectacle of ingenuity and creativity, as the young participants showcased their innovative project proposals, tackling pressing issues such as poor water management, land pollution, food loss, and sanitary problems. The event was a testament to the power of empowerment, as these young girls, armed with nothing but their intellect and determination, took center stage to present their solutions to real-world problems.

He congratulated the participants, jury, and Tim Immaculate, emphasizing the importance of women in engineering and the need for diversity in the field. "You should not think that when you do engineering, you will just end up in the quarters to wire or build houses. When you become an engineer, it means you have a different level," he noted.
As Women in Engineering Cameroon marks its first anniversary and enters its second edition, Tim Immaculate remains committed to leading the organization toward greater heights. Under her leadership, WEC continues to empower young female trailblazers in the STEM fields, inspiring a new generation of innovators and leaders.

In a country where women are often marginalized and excluded from the STEM fields, WEC's initiative is a beacon of hope. It is a testament to the power of vision, leadership, and determination. As Tim Immaculate so eloquently put it, "We believe in empowering these young girls to become the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow."
The future of innovation in Cameroon has never looked brighter. With Women in Engineering Cameroon at the helm, the next generation of leaders is poised to take the world by storm.
