Our Role in the Project
We lead the education component — three interconnected dimensions that ensure investments in energy infrastructure lead to lasting, meaningful learning.
Translating Kenya's CBE national requirements into practical, inquiry-based classroom activities by making energy and sustainability the entry point for science, maths, and technology.
We map curriculum requirements to real-world energy contexts that students can touch, test, and investigate.
Building teacher capacity to deliver learner-centred, inquiry-based STEM education by shifting classrooms from rote recall to hands-on exploration, questioning, and discovery.
Professional development sessions, coaching, and peer learning circles are woven into our delivery model.
Aligning day-to-day teaching with the project's wider energy goals by designing high-impact lessons that work beautifully even in low-resource settings.
We ensure every lesson is practical, standards-aligned, and can be sustained without expensive materials.
