    ONE MILLION HOURS WITH ESOMA KIDS!!! I want to introduce you to an audacious project we have taken up at Esoma Solutions, to provide a million hours of active learning on our platform Esoma Kids in 36 months. We thought of starting this project in January 2025, but why wait? The counter of this gutsy target started in October 21st 2024, and it is highly on track. We have so far done 871 hours in the first 28 days of the project, and we couldn't be more excited. What's more interesting? It has been proven by research that time to task is a significant contributor to positive learning outcomes. Esoma Kids is posting an impressive engagement time of 52mins and 35 secs for every user on the platform, showing great interaction between learners and the platform's content. Join us in serving a million hours of learning on Esoma Kids. I will keep you all posted on the progress we will be making towards that goal. Let's do this Esborn Kariuki, Kelvin Munyambu and the team. #OneMillionHoursOnEsomaKids #EdTech #EsomaSolutions #EsomaKids

  • ESOMAKIDS EDUCATORS' BREAKFAST!!! On Thursday, November 7, 2024 Esoma Solutions brought together an incredible gathering of teacher drawn from Thika and adjacent areas. In this session, we had a powerful engagement with Educators on use of technology in their classrooms. The theme of the day was "Empowering Classrooms: The role of technology in enhancing core teaching and supplementary learning outcomes." Speaker after speaker gave insights on the indispensable place of technology in the classroom, from experiences in teaching and careers. We had Thomas Warirah share his experiences on how technology transformed his accounting career, and Dr. Kirimi of Kenyatta University share on why the future is technology-based for all educators. Teachers in the meeting, led by Tr. Carol and Tr. Cillah also shared wonderful insights from both teaching and parenting perspectives. Our CEO, Julius Njuguna shared his academic journey and why he believes readily available technology can be a game-changer for foundational learning. Our COO, Esborn Kariuki pieced together the conversations, emphasizing the beauty of giving every child a personalized touch with the intention of ensuring they gain proficiency in FLN. Thanks to our team led by Kelvin Munyambu in making sure that everything run smoothly on the day. #EducationTechnology #EsomaKids #EdTech iHUB Nairobi

    IMPROVING FOUNDATIONAL LEARNING!!! At a time when Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) proficiency has been bleeding in out continent, its is imperative that we come together and find a way that works for our children. It has been heartwarming seeing all the conversations emerging from #UNGA79 in New York City regarding investment in education, especially foundational learning in Sub-Saharan Africa. Esoma Solutions is on the frontline in the quest to improve FLN proficiency in Kenya through the platform Esoma Kids. The platform integrates the best of child's play, edutainment and curriculum-aligned needs in personalized learning to foster a self-paced path to FLN proficiency for every child. In our work, we have seen that integration of these elements have a profound effect on the engagement of a learner in e-learning. We have moved over 400% in learner engagement from a low of 6 minutes per session to over 30 minutes per session for every learner, and the learning outcomes are impressive. Together with the Mastercard Foundation in the EdTech fellowship at iHUB Nairobi, we are working on scaling such experiences to ensure that every child we reach has a chance at FLN proficiency - at their own pace. We need more players to inject investment in this space to ensure that the future of our continent is safely safeguarded through literacy.

    KENYA EDTECH SUMMIT 2024 RECAP!! It was all smiles at this year's Kenya EdTech Summit, where I represented Esoma Solutions together with my colleagues Esborn Kariuki and Kelvin Munyambu. We engaged participants and immersed them in an experience of our FLN solutions during a live demo session, getting very encouraging feedback from the gathering. The summit was organized by the EdTech East Africa in partnership with other organizations like the Mastercard Foundation. The heart of the conversation was building with evidence to ensure improved learning outcomes. Stakeholders from various sectors in the education space made their contributions and voice heard. A few points to take home. 👉 Ciku Mbugua of the EdTech Hub (this organization always rings a bell of excitement in me) explained the work the organization is doing around EdTech evidence, and how that plays into ensuring solutions are practical. 👉 Jennifer Cotter Otieno elucidated the work being done by her organization in the country to get information from every corner and stakeholder to make EdTech more effective. 👉 Every player in the space is ready to make education better using technology, and it's just a matter of harmonizing our thoughts and actions for the benefit of every learner. This was not just a convention of minds in EdTech, but a moment of reflection on the last and shaping the future of the nation through quality education. #KenyaEdTechSummit2024 #EdTech #Education #EsomaKids

Building on this foundation, Esoma Solutions introduced its flagship product, Esoma Kids, an online learning tool designed to improve foundational literacy and numeracy for young learners. Key Takeaways from Esoma Solutions' Growth: 1. Engaging Learning Through Gamification: Esoma Kids uses interactive games and challenges to create a fun, engaging learning environment that motivates children to learn. By integrating gamification, the platform enhances retention and understanding of core concepts, making foundational learning both effective and enjoyable. 2. Addressing Foundational Learning Gaps: Esoma Kids tackles the alarming proficiency gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy across Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa. "The most serious gaps we are addressing through Esoma Kids are the significantly low levels of foundational literacy and numeracy proficiency in Kenya, and in Sub-Saharan Africa at large," said Julius Irungu, co-founder of Esoma Solutions.

  • NAIROBI EDTECH FESTIVAL 2024 This past weekend, our team exhibited at the EdTech festival at iHub Nairobi, where we showcased our product to keen users and enthusiasts of the EdTech ecosystem, and were very pleased with the reception we received from users. The future of learning keep tilting in favour of technology, and we'll keep pursuing the best for learners and teachers. It was great to be in the same space with other EdTechs like NABU, LoHo Learning, Somachat Services and host more. In one of the masterclasses at the festival moderated by Tabitha Wairimu Ngugi and her learning science team, we explored ways in which EdTechs can serve a central role in enhancing learner-centred teaching. With Esoma Kids, we are ensuring that the learner is at the heart of the processes, helping them improve in foundational literacy and numeracy. #EdTech, #EdTechFestival, #Education, #FutureOfLearning, #EducationChangemakers, #EdTechFellowship Julius Njuguna Esborn Kariuki Kelvin Munyambu Irungu Patrick
