Their impressive track record is a testament to the school’s commitment to excellence and innovation.
The Prempeh College Robotics Team has developed two systems for the college, one of many enviable achievements marking the College’s 75th anniversary.
They are a Water Management System and an Attendance Monitoring System.
The Water Management System is designed to prevent water wastage on campus by automatically turning off taps when they’re not in use. It can even detect when a bucket is full and shut off the tap to avoid overflow.
The highly innovative Attendance Monitoring System uses custom-built Bluetooth fingerprint sensors and a mobile app to track the attendance of both teachers and students, ensuring an efficient and accurate monitoring process.
Aside from putting the College in particular and Ghana in general on the world map for its sterling performance in the field of robotics, the Team is conducting several research projects to enhance the comfort of life within the College.
Prempeh College is a renowned public Boys senior high school in Kumasi, Ghana. Founded in 1949, it was named after Sir Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II, the King of Ashanti and the brain behind the establishment of the prestigious institution. The College was modelled after Eton College in England, blending tradition with modern educational practices.
Prempeh College has consistently demonstrated excellence in academics, particularly in science and mathematics. They topped matriculation at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in 2004 and 2012.
In robotics, Prempeh College has made Ghana proud. They won the National Robotics Championships a record five times between 2013 and 2021. In 2016, they took home the prestigious Toyota Innovation Award at the International Robofest World Championships in Michigan, USA – the first senior high school in Ghana and Africa to win the Championship.
Recently, they emerged victorious at the 2023 National Robotics Competition, earning the right to represent Ghana at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) in Panama.
In 2024, Prempeh College represented Ghana in the World Robotics Olympiad winning the Unknown Mission Challenge (UMC)
Their impressive track record is a testament to the school’s commitment to excellence and innovation. With distinguished alumni like John Kufuor, former President of Ghana, and, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, Mamponhene; Prempeh College continues to shape the minds and futures of young Ghanaians.
