Leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc, has announced its sponsorship of the 2026 Young Innovators Camp, a free educational initiative organised by MONAT.
The programme is designed to equip children with practical Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) skills needed to grow, thrive, and succeed in an increasingly dynamic world.
Scheduled to commence on July 20, 2026, the camp will offer participating children a hands-on learning experience that emphasises creativity, innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Through a carefully curated curriculum, participants will be introduced to age-appropriate STEM concepts, guided build sessions, and a range of engaging activities aimed at stimulating curiosity and encouraging practical learning.
The programme will also feature small group sessions led by experienced facilitators, financial literacy classes, creative exercises, and interactive experiences designed to build confidence and inspire self-expression among participants.
Speaking on the partnership, the Divisional Head, Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, highlighted the importance of early exposure to innovation-driven learning.
“The future will be shaped by those who can solve problems, think creatively, and harness technology to improve lives. At Fidelity Bank, we believe these abilities should be nurtured from an early age.
Through the Young Innovators Camp, we are giving children the opportunity to explore STEM in a fun, practical, and engaging way that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and encourages innovation.
We want every child who participates to leave believing in their potential not just to succeed in the future, but to help create it,” he said.
He further emphasised the Bank’s commitment to education as a driver of national development.
“As a bank committed to helping people grow, thrive, and prosper, we see education—particularly STEM education—as a strategic investment in Nigeria’s future.
Today’s young innovators will become tomorrow’s engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and technology leaders. By partnering with MONAT, we are investing in a generation equipped with the skills, mindset, and confidence to solve real-world challenges and contribute meaningfully to society. This initiative goes beyond a summer camp; it is about unlocking potential and inspiring the next generation of innovators.”
The Young Innovators Camp reinforces Fidelity Bank’s sustained investment in initiatives that prepare children and young people for the future.
It builds on the Bank’s education-focused interventions, including programmes such as SWEETA, as well as its broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda, which prioritises youth empowerment, education, skills development, and access to opportunities that improve long-term outcomes.
Each participant will receive a specially curated gift pack containing educational resources and STEM learning materials to encourage continued exploration beyond the camp. This ensures the experience remains both memorable and transformative.
Participation in the Young Innovators Camp is free. Parents and guardians are encouraged to register their children, aged 4–10 years, by visiting: https://monatng.com/event/young-innovators-camp/
