The idea that young people with disabilities struggle when it comes to IT and technology subjects has gained traction despite its dubious origins.

And it’s a notion that 2021 Fellowship Alumna, Racheal Inegbedion of Nigeria, hopes to dispel through her not-for-profit organization Special Needs Initiative for Growth. She and her colleagues believe that STEM and robotics programs are ideally suited to those with special needs. Armed with the skills gleaned from these subjects, students have their best shot at a place in tomorrow’s workforce.
