KAWA will adopt a structured and engaging approach will be adopted to organize workshops on specific ICT topics, such as coding, 3D printing, and cybersecurity. Our methodology aims to provide club members with advanced knowledge, practical skills, and mentorship opportunities by involving industry professionals and university students. The following steps outline the approach to achieve these goals, detailing the activities and expected outputs.

Identifying Key ICT Topics and Speakers: The first step involves identifying specific ICT topics that align with the interests and needs of the club members. Topics such as coding, 3D printing, and cybersecurity will be prioritized. Potential speakers, including industry professionals and university students with expertise in these areas, will be identified through networking, professional organizations, and academic institutions. The output will be a list of relevant ICT topics and a roster of potential speakers who can provide valuable insights and mentorship.

Planning and Scheduling Workshops: Once the topics and speakers are identified, a detailed workshop plan and schedule will be developed. Each workshop will be designed to include theoretical knowledge, hands-on activities, and interactive Q&A sessions. The workshops will be scheduled at times that are convenient for both the speakers and club members, ensuring maximum participation. The output will be a comprehensive workshop schedule that outlines the topics, speakers, dates, and times for each session.

Coordinating with Industry Professionals and University Students: Effective coordination with invited speakers is crucial for the success of the workshops. Formal invitations will be sent to industry professionals and university students, outlining the purpose of the workshop, expected outcomes, and logistical details. Follow-up communications will ensure that speakers are well-prepared and that all necessary arrangements are in place. The output will be confirmed participation of industry professionals and university students who are ready to share their knowledge and provide mentorship.

Promoting the Workshops: To ensure strong attendance and engagement, the workshops will be actively promoted within the school and the wider community. Promotional activities will include creating and distributing flyers, sending announcements via email and social media, and making classroom visits to inform students about the upcoming workshops. The output will be widespread awareness of the workshops, leading to high participation rates from club members and other interested students.

Conducting the Workshops: On the day of each workshop, all logistical arrangements will be in place to ensure a smooth execution. This includes setting up the venue, arranging necessary equipment, and providing materials for hands-on activities. Each workshop will begin with an introduction to the topic, followed by an interactive presentation from the speaker, hands-on practice sessions, and a Q&A segment. The output will be successful workshops where students gain new knowledge, practical skills, and inspiration from experts in the field.

Providing Ongoing Mentorship and Support: Beyond the workshops, ongoing mentorship and support will be facilitated through follow-up sessions, online forums, and regular check-ins with the speakers. Club members will have the opportunity to ask further questions, seek advice on projects, and stay connected with their mentors. The output will be a sustained mentorship relationship that provides continuous learning and support for club members.

Evaluating the Impact of the Workshops: To assess the effectiveness of the workshops, feedback will be collected from participants through surveys and feedback forms. This feedback will be analyzed to understand the impact of the workshops on students’ knowledge, skills, and engagement with ICT topics. Lessons learned from the evaluations will be used to improve future workshops. The output will be detailed evaluation reports that highlight the successes and areas for improvement, ensuring continuous enhancement of the workshop program.

With this, each ICT club will benefit from a series of well-organized workshops that provide advanced knowledge, practical skills, and mentorship from industry professionals and university students. Each step, from identifying topics and speakers to conducting the workshops and providing ongoing support, is designed to create a rich learning experience that inspires and empowers club members. This approach will ensure that the ICT club remains a dynamic and valuable part of the school’s educational offering, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
