Invention Education Kenyatta University

🔥 Applications Are OPEN! The M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (Medical Device Innovation) at Kenyatta University is now accepting applications for innovators ready to build, test, and scale solutions that matter. 🚀 Apply now: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Meet the Faculty: Dr. June Madete From design to prototype, she leads MDI students through building real medical devices not just ideas. Less theory, more build, test, fix, repeat. Because here, innovation isn’t imagined. It’s made. #IvEKU #MDI #WomenInSTEM

A week of creativity. Real solutions delivered. We celebrated top innovators tackling assistive care challenges through bold, practical design. 🥇 Ishmael, Munene, Kiprotich 🥈 Clyde, Jill, Vanessa, Adric 🥉 Brian, Andrew, Khalil, Sandra The bar is set. #IvEKU #DesignChallenge

What happens when bold ideas meet real-world challenges? 🤔 Last week, our IvE Design Challenge turned ideas into assistive device prototypes, built in just days. The energy. The creativity. The impact. Innovation, hands-on. 💫 @KenyattaUni #MedTechInnovation #DesignForImpact

We had a bold start! 💪 This edition of our newsletter captures the energy, ideas, and a drive to a new chapter of Biomedical Engineering at Kenyatta University. Step inside the journey. @KenyattaUni, @RiceUniversity, @TheLemelsonFoundation , @eak_med62812 #IvEKU #MDI

Bringing ecosystem together. We concluded the week with a stakeholder engagement event at Golden Tulip, convening partners from academia, industry, and the innovation ecosystem The evening created space for meaningful dialogue, shared vision, and strengthened collaboration

Strategy. Alignment. Momentum Over two days, IvE and Rice University leadership came together for strategic planning sessions shaping Year 2 of the MDI program. Partnerships like these are how vision becomes reality. @KenyattaUni #IvEKU #RiceUniversity #StrategicPartnerships

💫 Stronger programs are built through collaboration. We hosted Rice University for a deep dive into our Semester 2 MDI curriculum, refining and aligning for an even stronger student experience. #IvEKU #MDI #MedTechEducation

Innovation starts with understanding the system. During Clinical Immersion, our MDI students visited @BocKenya to see how medical gases power hospital care. Ready to be part of the next cohort? Apply here: 🔗 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #BiomedicalEngineering @KenyattaUni

💃We celebrate the women in our MDI cohort. Curious. Bold. Innovative. These future biomedical engineers and innovators are learning, building, and design thinking solutions that could transform healthcare across Africa. Happy International Women’s Day to you and all women.

Innovation in action at CDIE. Yesterday’s Poster Presentation brought together students and innovators to showcase ideas, prototypes, and research tackling real-world challenges. A great space for feedback, collaboration, and bold thinking. #CDIE #IvEKU #DesigningForImpact

🪵✨ From Sketch to Structure. In our prototyping lab, our MDI students swapped screens for saws and simulations for sandpaper. Woodworking isn’t just about shaping material — it’s about understanding structure, ergonomics, precision, and durability. #IvEKU #MDI #Prototyping

Seeking for innovators to design affordable, practical assistive devices that address challenges affecting caregivers of PWDs and chronic illnesses. Your chance to gain hands-on experience, build a functional prototype & solve a real-world problem. forms.gle/xHQR1k13c4CkT5…

MDI cohort gathered for The Professional Exchange — a powerful reminder that innovation is not only about what we build, but how we show up. Thank you to our alumni speakers and to our students for showing up with curiosity, confidence, and professionalism.

✨IvE Poster Presentation ✨ Venue: CDIE, Graduate School, Kenyatta University Date: 6th March 2026. Time: 2-4pm Join us for the IvE Poster Presentation, a showcase of the next generation of biomedical solutions. To learn more, register: forms.gle/whmtvyj6CHTGTh…

✨ Welcomed clinical research leadership into the classroom. We’re grateful to Innocent Abayo (IQVIA) for joining our MDI class and sharing his insights on clinical research site development and strengthening Africa’s role in global trials. Thank you for an impactful session.
