How to make somali youth to be intrested in science?

Salaama Caleikum
 
I have this question that have been bothering me for a long time. I think you can guess from the title  :-\. Majority of the somali teens that I met have this idea that science is very difficult subject especially chemistry, maths and so on. There are some who are interested in this field but then give up studying in early stages, saying that it is tooo difficult we cant manage it  >:(. And my question is how to make somali youth to be intrested in science?. 

Waxbaro!:
It should start from childhood.

Science can be fun, especially if you make it part of a child's everyday routine.
Here are some simple tips for bringing science into your child's life.

• Follow his interests and encourage him to explore subjects he likes. If he's a sci-fi fan, give him materials about space exploration, or try a paleontology book on your dinosaur buff.

• Make time for everyday experimentation, like observing changes in weather or the chemical reactions in cooking.

• Put scientific concepts in real-world terms. If she's studying states of matter at school, for example, take some water and freeze, boil, and melt it so she can see the scientific processes at work.

• Listen to his questions and try to find the answers together. Simply telling him the answer won't be as helpful or as empowering as conducting his own research.

• Explore the science that surrounds you — from the science programs in your community, to museums, to nature walks. Take trips together that pique her curiosity and keep her asking "why?"

Pharmacist:
School play big role to make their students interest in science, and here are some points which may use toward that goal:

1- Increase the project-based and career-oriented focus when teaching these subjects.
2- Increase professional development for teachers of these subjects.
3- Start comprehensive, career-oriented instruction in these subjects in earlier grades.

Diagnostic:
Diagnosis mainly depend on history.
So the history of our somali youth controls their interests
- School history
- Family history
- Social history
- Environmental history
- Developmental history & so on

If the school like the one told by pharmacist, the family encourages their child toward that career, & their economic state help them
If the child grow up in environment where science and scientists are all admired, he sure tries to be one of them!
