AASEE is dedicated to advancing science and engineering education at the K-12 level. We work directly with students in the classroom. AASEE designs curriculum-based and fun hands-on activities through collaborative research, where we try to ensure a maximum engagement of teachers and parents along with the students. We provide training and resources to pre-university educators. We also create opportunities for the students to learn directly from experts and leaders in the respective fields. AASEE gives priority to diverse populations, namely Canada’s first nations peoples, girls, and those in financial need, as well as rural populations. We are mandated to work across the globe, and are implementing an ambitious plan. At AASEE we target tomorrow´s leaders in science and engineering who will be working with a true passion. We believe advancing science and engineering education is the right way to go, and the right thing to do.

The Foundation’s aim is to finance the education of talented young women and men in Zambia. The Foundation has a Canadian Board of Directors and a Zambian based selection committee. The Zambian committee consists of eminent academics and professionals whose task it is to identify suitable candidates for recommendation to the Board of Masomo in Canada. The scholarships are advertised in the national press and suitable candidates are identified on merit. Masomo’s initial focus is on courses with duration of two years or less. Zambia’s best colleges offer many courses for this period of time. The Foundation’s scholars are engaged in studies ranging from medicine and pharmacy, to engineering and agricultural science, principally at the Universities of Zambia and the Copperbelt. Most of these students would not have been able to attend university but for the support of Masomo donors.
