Drone Piloting 

CRDTI conducted a comprehensive drone piloting training program for 20 students from KsTU. Spanning two weeks, the training began with a week dedicated to teaching the basic theories of flying drones, covering essential principles and safety protocols. The second week focused on practical experience, allowing students to apply their theoretical knowledge through hands-on practice sessions, honing their piloting skills and gaining confidence in operating drones.

AR Training 

CRDTI collaborated with DEVAR, the creators of WEBAR, to train 20 students from KsTU and 2 staff members on the basics of augmented reality (AR) development. A resource person from DEVAR conducted the training, which took place over the course of a single day. The event provided participants with hands-on experience and foundational knowledge in AR technology, equipping them with skills to develop their own AR applications.

E-Tech Seminar 

CRDTI held an impactful seminar on Emergent Technologies at the SRC Conference room, which successfully engaged over 100 engineering students. The seminar aimed to expose students to a diverse array of cutting-edge technologies, including Arduino, 3D printing, robotics, and drones, among others. These technologies represent significant advancements in various engineering fields, offering students a glimpse into the future of innovation and practical applications.

IP Seminar 

CRDTI organized a seminar on intellectual property rights to raise awareness among students and staff, particularly those from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET). Dr. Hilary Mireku Botey, an IP expert from CSIR and CEO of IPEd Global Consult, served as the resource person for the event. Dr.

CRDTI has inaugurated its technological hub with the aim of empowering students and the public by providing skills and access to relevant equipment to transform ideas into reality. The hub currently features state-of-the-art technologies, including 3D printers for training in modeling and rapid prototyping, drones for training drone pilots and providing skills to build, program, and customize drones for localized purposes, and VR headsets to enable users to develop products in the metaverse.

CRDTI organized an innovation exhibition at Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) to encourage students and staff to develop innovative solutions to prevailing challenges in communities across Ghana. Students formed teams and presented their innovations at the exhibition, showcasing their creativity and problem-solving skills. The judges for the event were engineering professionals who are members of the Ghana Institution of Engineering.
