Girls and boys demonstrate the same level of interest in #STEM subjects at the beginning of their education. However, societal pressures on young women can discourage them from pursuing STEM education. How can we close the gender gap in #STEM learning and employment in Africa? Share your thoughts in the comments. #WomenInSTEM
On Friday, February 7, 2025, the FunKe Science team had the privilege of attending the #ALU ReImagine Education Conference in Nairobi, where leaders in academia, industry, and policy explored a critical question: "Is Higher Education in Africa Fit for Purpose?" Keynote speakers, including @Dr Milton Njuki (Deputy Director, Higher Education & Research, Ministry of Education), Mercy W. (Secretary to the Cabinet, Kenya), and Veda Sunassee (CEO, #ALU) emphasized the urgent need for education systems to align with Africa’s evolving workforce needs. A key highlight was the discussion of #ALU2025 Africa Workforce Readiness Report, which sheds light on student aspirations, employer expectations, and the skills gap that must be addressed for graduates to thrive. Beyond academia, the conference tackled the threat of brain drain, the evolution of AI in the workplace, and the role of private-public partnerships in reshaping education. Interactive breakout sessions sparked dynamic conversations on the readiness of both employers and employees to adapt to AI-driven workspaces. Panelists called for a shift in focus—not just on reimagining education, but also on redefining career pathways and workplace structures to better prepare Africa’s workforce for the future. The future of education is not just about degrees but about deliberate skills development, industry collaboration, and agile learning systems that empower Africa’s next generation.

🎉 Ending the Year with a Spark! 🎉 We had an incredible time partnering with #MicrosoftADC to host young learners, some as young as 3 years old, for a day of exploration, creativity, and STEM magic at the Garage! 🚀 We were even happier to meet our good friends from ChipuRobo Center there. FunKe Science brought excitement with hands-on experiments like self-inflating balloons, exploding volcanoes, and thrilling chemical reactions. Watching their faces light up as science came to life was a joy! We believe it’s never too early to ignite curiosity and inspire the changemakers of tomorrow. Here’s to nurturing innovation and dreaming big—one experiment at a time. 🌟 #FunKeScience #STEMForAll #InnovationNation #FutureChangemakers cc Lydiah Karanja Gurupreet Dhanjal Anthony Nandaa Wesley Muma Nell Shiundu Stella Gikonyo Lillian Ongere Deborah Masubo Tracey Shiundu Peter S.

We ended the year on a high note by hosting 81 kids, some as young as 3 years old, at the Garage! 🎉 The office was buzzing with excitement as the kids explored, created, and learned. It’s never too early to spark creativity and innovation. Who knows? We may have welcomed future tech leaders and changemakers into our space! To make the day impactful, we partnered with: -FunKe Science, who amazed the kids with self-inflating balloons, foam volcanoes, and exciting chemical reactions. -ChipuRobo Center, who inspired curiosity with laser-cut puzzles, toy models, and robotics demonstrations. This wasn’t just a day of play—it was a celebration of learning, exploration, and dreaming big. As we break for the holidays, I encourage parents to find fun and engaging ways to explore learning moments with their kids. A little curiosity goes a long way in inspiring the next generation. Happy holidays! #MicrosoftADC #STEM #InnovationForAll #EmpoweringFutureLeaders
We’re thrilled to have partnered with Electricity Sector Association of Kenya (ESAK) at the #STEMAfricaFest2024 – Kenyan Edition! 🎉 It was a joy to see young innovators learning about the importance of electricity in their daily lives. From understanding where it comes from to playfully discussing who uses the most electricity at home (we hear moms are the top contenders! 😅), these bright minds truly inspired us. Through hands-on activities, we aim to empower children with knowledge that connects STEM concepts to their everyday world. Thank you, ESAK, for highlighting the role of private investors in driving this vital sector forward. Together, we’re sparking curiosity and fueling the future of innovation! #FunKeScience #FutureInnovators #STEMEducation #PoweringPossibilities
Last week we had the wonderful opportunity to engage with the bright young minds attending the #StemAfricaFest, Kenyan Edition organised by FunKe Science. As the electricity partner, it was encouraging to see that they have an understanding of where electricity comes from and more fascinating to hear what else they know about electricity as you will see in their cards below. According to one, mom uses the most electricity in the house 😅 😁. The children recognize the vital role electricity plays in their daily lives, from watching TV and charging their devices to providing lighting. It was a rewarding day for ESAK as we shared how private investors contribute to this important sector.
Thank you, Maingi Mutiso, for being part of an unforgettable #STEMAfricaFest2024! 🌟 With partners like Mtoto News, we collaborated to highlight storytelling's power in #STEMEducation. We aim to ignite curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young minds across Kenya and Africa. Together, we’re building a brighter future and showing children the incredible possibilities within science, technology, engineering, and math. Here’s to many more impactful events that bring STEM education to life! #FutureInnovators #FunKeScience #InnovationNation
During the weekend, I was part of the #STEMAfricaFest2024 organized by FunKe Science with the theme 'Innovation Nation- Children creating the future.' Alongside Mtoto News, our presence played an important role in the event by educating and showcasing the importance of storytelling in STEM education. I am glad for the experience as we continue our journey in the growth of STEM education and actualization in Kenya and Africa at large. #FutureInnovators
