Science World Senior Secondary School is a prestigious private school situated in Ashobie Corner, Freetown, Sierra Leone. The school has a strong focus on STEM and robotics education and has achieved remarkable results in national and international competitions. In 2022, the school ranked second in the WASSCE examination among all secondary schools in Sierra Leone, demonstrating its academic excellence and innovation.

Brief history
I want to share with you the story of Science World Senior Secondary School, a unique institution that aims to foster STEM skills, robotics, and coding among students in Sierra Leone.

The school was founded in 2018 by Mr. Kalidu Bundu, who has lived and worked in Ghana and Nigeria as the proprietor of Science World, a company that provides science equipment and services to schools and universities. Mr. Bundu noticed the gap between the quality of education in Ghana and Sierra Leone, especially in the field of science. He realized that many students in Sierra Leone lacked the opportunity to learn and practice science in a hands-on and engaging way. He decided to start a school that would focus only on science subjects and offers a STEM-based curriculum that would challenge and inspire students to create and build prototypes of equipment they wish they had.

The school is located in Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone, and has about 300 students from different backgrounds and regions. The school offers classes in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science, engineering, and robotics. The students are encouraged to work on projects that solve real-world problems and showcase their creativity and innovation. Some of the projects that the students have worked on include a solar-powered car, a water purification system, a drone, a smart traffic light, and a robotic arm.

The school's vision is to bring STEM skills, robotics, and coding to children in Sierra Leone and to inspire them to unlock their potential and pursue careers in science and technology. The school believes that by empowering students with STEM education, they can become agents of change and contribute to the development of their country and the world.
