Featured Initiatives
The Bnari Farms Project
The Class of 2023 worked extensively on agriculture as part of the newly introduced Technology and Society Course Challenge at ACity. The project saw students engage with Bnari Farms, a neighbouring vegetable farming community, where they built a strong and meaningful relationship with local farmers. Through the innovative use of technology, students assisted the farmers in improving their processes and the quality of their produce.
The Ventilator Project
When the COVID-19 pandemic reached Ghana in March 2020, students of ACity rose to the challenge and sought solutions to the many health challenges brought to light by the spread of the virus. A dedicated team of engineering students, under the guidance of the University President, designed and developed a ventilator to support Ghana's healthcare response. This initiative exemplifies ACity's commitment to using knowledge and innovation as tools for real-world impact.
Papao Community School Engagement
In a heartfelt initiative, Academic City students dedicated their time and expertise to inspire young minds at Papao Community Presbyterian Basic School. Around 30 students volunteered to teach a diverse range of subjects, including French, Engineering, Biology, and creative upcycling, fostering curiosity and a passion for learning among primary and JHS students. This engagement reflects ACity's commitment to impactful education beyond the classroom, empowering the next generation through knowledge-sharing and mentorship.
