Developing Equality of STEM Education for Kenya's Youth

Young people account for a disproportionately large percentage of the population in Kenya and therefore represent an important and dynamic force in Kenyan society. Of Kenyans, 50% are under 18 years old. One proven solution for positive development is to invest in education that builds the capacity of youth. Science Centre Kenya (SCK) is a pilot science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) centre that promotes equal educational opportunity for all youth to become inspired by STEM. This paper describes the methods that have been used to plan and develop SCK, hoping to learn from other international science centers'' experience so as to achieve the unique development goals.
