The Engineering Lab

A great article recently published on Nature: "Any global perspective on the future of science must include Africa, home to 1.3 billion people and some of the planet’s most abundant resources, both physical and intellectual." @EvelynGitau @aphrc nature.com/articles/d4158…

How do science, technology & innovation contribute to meeting the @UN #SDGs in Low & Middle-Income Countries? New @UKRI_News project STRINGS will map development pathways to enable policymakers & other organisations to better understand the role they play sussex.ac.uk/spru/research/…

Last week we launched our latest #STEM resource, 'Engineering a better world', inspired by the @RAEngGlobal Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation - raeng.org.uk/grants-and-pri…. Download the resource for free to use in your classroom or STEM club - stemresources.raeng.org.uk/engineering-a-….

Our @RAEngNews opportunities involve working alongside some amazing entrepreneurs in Africa. Last year, 5 @UCLEngineering students travelled out, 3 worked w/@EngLabAfrica & 2 w/@NanofilterTz . To hear about their experiences, head over to our FB or 'EFID Platform' Moodle page.

How do you use #Arduino and C++ to improve agricultural productivity of smallholder farmers? 🤔 OuR 15 year old student Enock from @MPESAFdnAcademy developed a real time monitoring system to monitor the temperature of the greenhouses on the school farm. #SmartAgriculture #STEM

🏆🏆🎉 Today, The Engineering Lab (E-Lab) was awarded 1st runners up in the #ConnectedKenya Innovation Awards by the ICT Authority. Our contribution to transforming Kenya into a high tech industrialized economy by 2030 through STEM education was recognized. #2018ConnectedSummit.

Valentine, one of our 2018 Paza Program participants, recently concluded an internship in @EngLabAfrica. She was undertaking a robotics and programming project. Read more about her internship experience! bit.ly/2QWWOUU

#SustainableCities #SDG11 How can robots solve the water crisis in cities? Our students brought home the 🏆🥇🥇 @firstlegoleague EA edition for the design and programming of their #robots. #Hydrodynamics #LegoMindstorms

A serious shortage of #Engineering skills among Africans poses a threat to the achievement of the #SDGs in #Africa. Engineers are needed to accelerate #industrialdevelopment and to alleviate #poverty. What can be done about this? @RichardMunang? xinhuanet.com/english/2018-0…

Bitesize science 🔬 Discover chemistry: 👩🏿‍🔬 @biofoodske held a #science workshop for our students from @hope2shine to learn the science behind yoghurt. Fun fact: Starter cultures turn lactose into lactic acid giving your yogurt that tangy taste!! #ScienceMadeEasy

Our amazing Year 3 students have made a robot that you can put your angry or red thoughts into and it will change them to green thoughts for you. Using @microbit_edu and neopixels . Electronics installation process shown here. #makered #EDTECH

#Drones are simply flying robots. 🤖 Our #STEM students @MPESAFdnAcademy code in C++ using #Arduino. The same boards that power these drones! 😎@NextEinsteinFor @AbdiganiDiriye how can we plug into #NEI Africa Science Week?

#Drones are simply flying robots. Our #drone workshop held for @MPESAFdnAcademy with @MicrodroneKE for their #STEM students was lots of fun. #EngineeringMadeEasy

@RAEngGlobal @MeredithEtt it’s been a great few weeks with the ‘students for engineers a better world program’!

At #ZSP we acknowledge the growing impact of the world’s youth and on #InternationalYouthDay we are highlighting the achievements of our Global High Schools category winners. These inspiring young people are championing sustainability & positively impacting the world around them.

Brilliant to have the @RAEngGlobal ‘Engineering a Better World’ uni students join us in Kenya for 6 weeks! @MeredithEtt We off to a good start!

@EngLabAfrica We took our #STEM students from @MPESAFdnAcademy school to @GearboxKE to learn about rapid prototyping and more! twitter.com/gearboxke/stat…
