Leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc, has sponsored the 2026 Young Innovators Camp, a free educational initiative organized by MONAT to equip children with practical Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills needed to grow, thrive and prosper in a rapidly evolving world.
The camp, which is scheduled to commence on 20 July 2026, will provide participating children with a hands-on learning experience focused on creativity, innovation, problem solving and critical thinking.
Through the programme, children will be introduced to age-appropriate STEM concepts, guided build sessions and other engaging activities designed to stimulate curiosity and encourage practical learning. The camp will also feature small group learning with facilitators, financial literacy sessions, creative activities, and other interactive experiences that support confidence building among participants.
Speaking on the partnership, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, Fidelity Bank Plc, said, “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 science, technology, engineering and mathematics in a fun, practical and engaging way that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and encourages innovation. We want every child who participates to leave believing that they have the potential not just to succeed in the future, but to help create it.”
He added, “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, inventors 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, create opportunities, and contribute meaningfully to national development. This is more than a summer camp; it is about unlocking potential and inspiring the next generation of innovators.”
The Young Innovators Camp reinforces Fidelity Bank’s ongoing investment in initiatives that prepare children and young people for the future. It builds on the Bank’s education focused interventions, including initiatives such as SWEETA, which supports children, and the Bank’s broader CSR agenda, which prioritises youth empowerment, education, skills development and access to opportunities that can improve long term outcomes for individuals and communities.
Every participant will also receive a specially curated gift pack filled with educational resources and STEM learning materials to encourage continued exploration and learning at home, making the camp both a memorable and transformative experience. Participation in the Young Innovators Camp is free and interested parents and guardians are encouraged to sign up their wards aged 4-10 years old for a chance to join the programme by visiting https://monatng.com/event/young-innovators-camp/.
