Young innovators from across Kiambu County converged at the Governor's Office for the AI and Mobile App Development Awards Ceremony, where they showcased mobile applications developed during a three-week digital skill training programme.
The event, organised by the Kiambu County Government on June 9, 2025, marked the culmination of an initiative aimed at equipping youth with coding and app development skills to address real-world challenges through technology.
Eighteen youth groups drawn from across the County had spent the past weeks immersed in a hybrid learning experience-two weeks of physical sessions, followed by a week of virtual training-organised by the Kiambu County Government through the Department of Youth Affairs, Sports and Communication, in collaboration with the Kenya National Commission for UNESCO, and fully funded by the County.
Each team took on the challenge of building an App guided by one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), proving that coding could be more than just a skill-it could be a force for good.
