European Union money helps teach Namibian students about climate change through technology. The Sustain-It project brings digital tools to technical schools from 2025 to 2027. Students learn to watch air and water quality using special sensors and computers. Two training centers participate from Windhoek and other areas around the country. The program also works with schools from Zimbabwe and Rwanda.
Seven groups from Europe and Africa run the project together. Spanish and Italian companies team up with African partners to create learning materials. Students use internet sensors and Arduino computers to study the environment. The training focuses on solar energy and pollution monitoring methods. These skills help young people fight climate change problems.
Free online courses launch next year for African students everywhere. The Smart Step website offers training modules without cost to users. Schools across the continent can access these environmental education materials. Opodisi company from Namibia helps spread the program to more students. Survey work already started to understand what students know about climate issues.
