A Young Teacher Creates Computer Parts From Cardboard Paper To Teach ICT

A brilliant teacher, Nyarko Godfred Kwasi, has created desktop computers with cardboard papers to teach his students ICT.

The teacher was posted to a region with no electricity or computer devices in the school.

So he decided to create cardboard computers that have all the parts of a regular desktop computer as a learning aid.

According to Godfred, he has had some talks with a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) to provide at least one computer but funds have still not come in yet 

Godfred is an innovative Ghanaian teacher who teaches at the Addaekrom DA Primary School, Addaekope in the Eastern Region.

“We don’t have power here. So I use a solar charger to keep my phone on, for instance. I usually charge the power bank during the day and then power my phone at night. Despite this situation, we have to learn,” he said. 

According to the innovative teacher, the students are never able to see in real-time how the mouse or keyboard works but they are beginning to have a good idea of the process, and their participation keeps improving. 

“What we do is, the entire class would move the mouse to a certain direction and one student would act as the curser and follow the movement. I then show them what the system unit, monitor and other parts of the computer do,” Kwasi added. 

The passionate teacher also mentioned that he has had talks with a charity organization called Crowd Africa Foundation to provide at least one computer and a generator to power it but as yet, that project stalls.
