What we teach
Technology Disciplines We Teach
Six core disciplines, each taught through building, testing and improving real projects.
Artificial Intelligence
Age-appropriate AI and machine learning concepts with practical projects. Students train simple models and see how AI makes decisions.
Coding & Programming
Programming fundamentals, computational thinking and software development, from block-based coding to Python.
Web Development
HTML, CSS, JavaScript and practical website and application development. Students publish real websites.
IoT & Embedded Systems
Connected devices, sensors, microcontrollers and smart systems. Students build devices that collect and share data.
STEM Innovation
Project-based learning that combines science, technology, engineering and creativity to solve real problems.
Technology Education That Goes Beyond the Classroom
DPE focuses on practical learning. Students don't just study technology concepts, they build with them. Every programme is structured around hands-on experimentation, real projects and problem solving, so students are encouraged to become creators of technology, not only users of it.
- Building
- Experimentation
- Problem solving
- Projects
- Innovation
- Home practice
Why Schools Choose DPE

Practical, Not Theoretical
Every lesson ends with something built, tested or improved.
Engineering-Led Teaching
Programmes designed by people who build real technology.
Structured for Schools
Flexible formats that fit timetables, facilities and budgets.
Equipment Included in Sessions
Demonstration kits ensure every student gets hands-on practice.
Built for Ghana

Our Values
Excellence & Innovation
We keep our programmes current with the technology students will actually meet in the world, and we hold our teaching to a high standard.
Student-Centred Learning
Every programme starts with the student: their age, experience and curiosity. We teach so that students understand, not just repeat.
Collaboration & Transparency
Clear proposals, regular updates and open communication with schools, parents and sponsors, no surprises.
Access & Inclusion
Every student takes part in hands-on practice, whether or not they own a personal kit.
Build. Experiment. Innovate.
DPE STEM Robotics Kit
GHS 500
Each participating student is encouraged to have their own robotics kit so they can continue experimenting and building projects at home, extending the learning far beyond the classroom.
- Personal learning equipment
- Hands-on classroom practice
- Home experimentation
- Robotics projects
- Electronics experiments
- Long-term ownership
Note: the kit is separate from programme tuition/training fees. Students who cannot purchase a personal kit can use DPE demonstration kits during supervised classroom practical sessions. Every student takes part in hands-on learning.
Responsive
Quick, clear communication with school leaders, parents and partners.
Proven Methods
Project-based learning across robotics, AI, coding and IoT, delivered end to end.
Safety First
Supervised practical sessions with age-appropriate equipment and procedures.
Direct Access
Talk directly to the instructors and engineers running your programme.
Your strategic partner
Your Partner in Delivering Practical Technology Education
DPE pairs experienced technology instructors with engineers who build real systems, so what students learn is current, practical and relevant. We work with schools of all sizes to design programmes that fit their students, facilities and budgets, and we stay involved from the first demonstration to the end-of-term showcase.
How it works
From First Lesson to First Invention
Learn → Build → Experiment → Create → Innovate. Every programme follows the same practical journey.
- 01
Join
Students enroll in an approved DPE school programme.
- 02
Learn
Students learn technology concepts through guided instruction.
- 03
Build
Students apply their knowledge to practical projects.
- 04
Innovate
Students experiment, solve problems and develop their own ideas.
Who We Serve
Practical technology education shaped around each partner's students, resources and goals.
Private Schools
Offer parents a modern, hands-on technology programme that sets your school apart, without building it from scratch.
For businesses & organisations
Digital Services That Help You Grow
The same team that teaches technology builds it: websites, mobile apps, branding and social media for businesses, churches, NGOs and schools.
Building something yourself? We also sell electronics components & supplies: boards, sensors, motors and more.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what school leaders, parents and sponsors ask us most.
What does DPE teach?
Robotics, artificial intelligence, coding, web development, IoT and embedded systems, and STEM innovation, all through practical, project-based learning.
Who are the programmes for?
Students from Primary 4 to JHS 2 (Young Innovators Programme) and SHS students (Technology & Innovation Programme).
Are the programmes compulsory?
No. DPE programmes are optional and extracurricular, arranged with each school.
How much does it cost?
For Primary/JHS, an illustrative optional student fee is around GHS 200/month, negotiable per school. For SHS, schools typically engage DPE through an institutional fee (illustratively GHS 5,000–8,000 per term) or a sponsor. Final arrangements are agreed with each school.
Is the GHS 500 kit required?
No. The personal kit is optional and separate from programme fees. Students without a personal kit use DPE demonstration kits during supervised classroom sessions.
How do we start a programme at our school?
Request a school demonstration. DPE will discuss your needs, send a proposal, and agree a structure with you before the programme begins.
