Steps Towards Progress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steps Towards Progress (STP) is a student organization in Egypt. This project was held for the first time in the academic year 2005/2006. It is completely managed and organized by students under the supervision of the professors and the administration of faculty of Engineering – Cairo University.

Last year STP (ended March 2007) hosted 850 student participants from all over Egypt. This included Cairo University students and others from six universities and two high schools. It was organized by 130 student organizers and its opening was attended by right around 1,000 students, parents, faculty administration, and guests of honor. This year we expect to increase our audience and participants significantly. We are trying to introduce you a holistic approach to ensure maximum exposure of your products among STP community
