Introduction

At STEAM Interactive Global, we believe that every child deserves an opportunity to participate in the digital economy regardless of their location or background.

In collaboration with the Kajiado Solar Community Hub, SIG continues to deliver community-based coding camps that introduce young people to coding, robotics, computational thinking, and digital creativity.

Bringing Technology Closer to Communities

The coding camps provide learners with hands-on opportunities to:

• Learn basic programming concepts
• Explore robotics and electronics
• Develop problem-solving skills
• Work collaboratively on projects
• Build confidence in using technology

These activities are designed to make technology accessible, engaging, and relevant to local communities.

Promoting Inclusion

The initiative places special emphasis on reaching underserved communities where access to technology education opportunities may be limited.

By bringing STEAM learning directly into communities, SIG is helping bridge the digital divide and create pathways to future opportunities.

Conclusion

Community coding camps remain a critical part of SIG’s mission to democratize access to technology education and empower the next generation of innovators.

Introduction

STEAM Interactive Global, in partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and Google, successfully trained over 200 educators through the AI Skills Coalition initiative.

The program aimed to strengthen educators’ understanding of artificial intelligence, robotics, coding, and digital innovation while preparing them to guide learners in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Building Educator Capacity

Teachers participated in intensive hands-on sessions covering:

• Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
• Robotics and Automation
• Coding Fundamentals
• Digital Innovation
• Ethical Use of AI
• Practical Classroom Integration

The training emphasized experiential learning and practical application of emerging technologies in educational settings.

Supporting Sustainable Learning

To ensure lasting impact, participating educators representing over 160 schools received robotics kits to support the establishment and strengthening of AI and robotics clubs within their institutions.

These resources will enable thousands of learners to gain practical experience in coding, robotics, and innovation.

Creating a National Network

The initiative has created a growing network of educators who are now championing technology and innovation within their schools and communities.

Conclusion

Through strategic partnerships and educator empowerment, the AI Skills Coalition initiative is helping shape a future where every learner has access to relevant digital and technological skills.

STEAM Interactive Global successfully hosted the second season of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge Kenya National Championship, bringing together more than 300 attendees among them; learners, educators, mentors, and technology enthusiasts from across the country.

Held at CEMASTEA, Karen, the event provided a platform for young innovators to showcase robotics and artificial intelligence solutions addressing real-world challenges aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A Celebration of Innovation

Participants demonstrated remarkable creativity, technical skills, and teamwork as they designed and presented innovative projects aimed at solving challenges in education, healthcare, agriculture, environmental conservation, and community development.

The championship attracted participants from schools representing different regions of Kenya, highlighting the growing interest in robotics and emerging technologies among young people.

Strategic Partnerships

The event was supported by a strong network of partners, including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Google, Ministry of Information, Communication and Digital Economy, Communications Authority of Kenya, Giga, CEMASTEA, iHub, Futures Infinite, Blink Electrics, Pooltrex Systems, Digitoto and other stakeholders committed to promoting digital skills and innovation among youth.

Looking Ahead to Geneva

Following a highly competitive championship, winning teams earned the opportunity to represent Kenya at the global Robotics for Good Youth Challenge Grand Finale scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 7th to 10th July 2026.

Conclusion

The championship reaffirmed the importance of creating opportunities for young people to develop future-ready skills and use technology to create positive social impact.

In an exciting step forward, STEAM Interactive has officially launched STEAM Academy, an innovative program designed to equip educators with the skills and confidence to integrate technology and STEAM principles into everyday teaching.
Through workshops and practical sessions, educators are now embracing tools like coding, robotics, AI, and STEM project-based learning — breaking away from traditional models and embracing competency-based education (CBE). The response? Educators are feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to take learning to the next level!

• What is STEAM Academy?
• Goals and key focus areas (empowering educators in tech)
• Impact stories: Educators’ experiences
• Future training opportunities
• Call to action: “Join the movement to revolutionize teaching and learning”

Over 107 students from across Kenya gathered for a transformative STEM Bootcamp in December 2024, a joint initiative by STEAM Interactive and CEMASTEA. This hands-on experience exposed learners to robotics, coding, engineering, AI, and creative problem-solving — equipping them with essential skills for the future.
Beyond the tech skills, students also built confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking abilities, proving that STEM education is not just about technology, but about nurturing future innovators and leaders.
