- [THE IMPACT OF LOCAL FEMALE ROLE MODELS IN INSPIRING GIRLS IN STEM](https://theexploratory.org/the-impact-of-local-female-role-models-in-inspiring-girls-in-stem/): By: Susana Asigre Children learn by observing the world around them. Long before they understand careers or opportunities, they are shaped by the people they see every day and the environment they find themselves in. I remember as a child, I told my teacher I wanted to become a roadside rice vendor simply because I admired the woman my mother bought rice from for me. I didn’t know anything about business or career paths; I only saw and admired how she went about her business everyday and that was enough to influence what I imagined for myself. This is how […]

- [Explorers develop soilless media to plant cucumber seeds](https://theexploratory.org/explorers-develop-soilless-media-to-plant-cucumber-seeds/): As part of their project for the term, Explorers in Nsawam and Pokuase have developed soilless media to plant cucumber seeds. Methodist 1 JHS Explorers prepare 7 set ups of soilless media to plant cucumber seeds In principle the soilless medium is a substance that is part of an artificial system of cultivation in which plants are grown without soil. The medium provides plants with physical support, regulates the water flow, serves as a storage of nutrients and permits gas exchange to and from the roots. Explorers of Osaebo JHS displaying their set ups Sounds interesting right? Here are steps […]

Materials: Hand gloves, coconut coir (fibrous husk), sawdust, dried plantain bark,  cucumber seeds, water, measuring rule and empty containers. Steps
