Junior Secondary Schools across the country have been urged to practical and expert learning in a bid to lay the foundation and prepare learners for science, technology, engineering and maths career paths.
In a flagship program aimed at triggering learners' interest in STEM, a hundred grade seven learners and tutors from Pharo School Nairobi participated in an Hour of Code in collaboration with coding experts to introduce learners to STEM career paths.
The school's Country Director Dr Edward Rukwaro said under the coding programme, the school has created a conducive environment for as many students to develop interest and get equipped and mentored to pursue STEM in their Career path.
He said plans are underway to also involve the parents to support the learners in the journey. "We believe in STEM a lot because of its potential to unlock Africa's potential and the chance to share its potential.
