Creating positive social change.

Each D:Lab projects aligns with one

or more of the United Nations

Sustainable Development Goals

(SDGs). These goals represent nearly

every country’s commitment to end

poverty, fight inequality and injustice,

and tackle climate change by 2030.

Making sure that projects fall under

the scope of the SDGs ensures that

D:Lab work is directed toward

improving the D:Lab’s community

and the lives of people within it.

Hands-on.

The D:Lab understands that

sometimes, the last thing students

want to do is study more theory. By

providing Fabrication Workshops

in areas such as web development,

3D Modelling, and 3D Printing, the

D:Lab allows you to try your hand

at emerging technologies, gain

valuable skills, and enjoy yourself

while you’re at it.

Innovative and cutting-edge.

Many of the D:Lab’s projects are

exploring innovative and emerging

technologies and the ways in which

they are poised to change Ghanaian

and sub-Saharan African livelihoods.

The D:Lab is actively involved in

research in areas including health,

agriculture, food systems, and

software development.
