The 61st Edition of the Kenya Science Engineering Fair (KSEF) 2025 for Nairobi that brought together young innovators from various secondary schools has concluded after three days of hands-on learning and innovation.
The Fair that was being held at Moi Girls School Nairobi offered students a unique platform to turn their theoretical knowledge into practical solutions, with many participants sharing how it sparked their passion for tackling real-world challenges.
Speaking at the event Moi Girls, Nairobi, Deputy Coordinator for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) at CEMASTEA, Mr Martin Mungai underscored the significance of the Fair, stating that it seeks to inspire students to develop interest in STEM-related fields. "The Fair is geared towards ensuring young minds possess the qualities of a scientist," he said, adding, "Students participating in KSEF engage in real-world applications of scientific concepts, which will give them a better chance to make learning more interactive and impactful." Mungai said that through KSEF competitions, students can identify challenges in their communities and devise innovative solutions using the scientific knowledge they learn in class.
He pointed out that the Fair and particularly Robotics, which CEMASTEA is keen on, "helps learners to develop a desire to learn how things work and why they function, and that drives them to ask questions and seek answers." He continued, "And once they start finding answers, creativity kicks in.
