As part of its industry engagement initiatives, the KNUST Photonics Student Chapter (KPSC) paid a visit to DEXT Technologies on Friday, July 18, 2025. The visit provided members with an opportunity to explore how innovative technologies are designed, developed, and applied to real-world challenges in science and technology education.

During the visit, participants engaged with the DEXT team and gained valuable insights into the company’s groundbreaking efforts to promote practical STEM education across Ghana. Members had the chance to tour the facility, where they observed the creative and engineering processes behind the production of the acclaimed DEXT Science Set, a locally developed educational toolkit that has transformed the way science is taught in classrooms.

The team witnessed firsthand how DEXT leverages 3D printing, laser cutting, and other advanced fabrication technologies to design and produce science kits and components efficiently. These tools enable the company to build durable, hands-on learning materials that make scientific concepts accessible and engaging for students. The integration of such modern technologies demonstrates DEXT’s commitment to bridging the gap between innovation, education, and accessibility in STEM.

The Chapter expressed deep appreciation to DEXT Technologies for their hospitality and for inspiring young researchers to connect classroom knowledge with industrial practices. This visit forms part of KPSC’s broader commitment to expose its members to Ghana’s growing innovation ecosystem, while nurturing creativity, collaboration, and a passion for scientific exploration.
