Our scholarship workshop was a success! 📝 We love creating spaces where students can get the support they need to best prepare for their futures. Students learned about scholarship and internship opportunities and even received help applying right then and there. #scholarships

A little glimpse into our Girls Entrepreneurship Incubator Workshops 💡 So far, students have visited GDMP, Flynn Wright, and KKR! We also want to thank Connie Boesen for speaking with students at our most recent session! #pi515

AI Challenge Mentor Highlight! 🌱💡 Clayton Mooney, Co-Founder and Chief Farmer of Clayton Farms (backed by Y Combinator), is on a mission to bring better food to more people through innovation and technology. We are grateful to have him supporting our students! #pi515

Our GEI students had the opportunity to visit Flynn Wright, one of the host locations for this year’s programming, where they learned from industry professionals and even received headshots during the visit. What an exciting day! 🙌 📸 #pi515 #gei2026

@AlbertOduor6 @orengo_james What crime did Albert Ojwang commit?

@orengo_james You know very well that the police don't arrest without valid reasons. You're not only a lawyer but a son of a former Inspector of police.

This evening several members of my staff have been arbitrarily arrested and detained in Siaya and Nairobi in connection with the Presidential visit to Siaya tomorrow. This egregious conduct on the part of the police has no place in a constitutional democracy. I demand their immediate release. @ntvkenya @KTNNewsKE @citizentvkenya .

✨ GEI Speaker Highlight — Session 1 ✨ We loved welcoming Jaci Wilkinson, Senior UI/UX Designer at Homesteaders Life Company, as our first speaker for the Girls Entrepreneurship Incubator! 🌐 jacipaigewilkinson.com #pi515 #gei #entrepreneurship

The 2026 Girls Entrepreneurship Incubator is officially underway! 💚 We can’t wait to see these young entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. Follow along as they learn, build, and inspire us along the way. ⭐ #pi515 #youth #entrepreneurship #learnbusiness #buildabusiness

@ray_omollo Do you understand the role of government?

In line with the Government's commitment to unlocking the vast potential of Kenya's Blue Economy, especially along the Lake Victoria basin, key infrastructure, including a modern pier and fish landing site, is taking shape in Muhuru Bay, Migori County. Construction of the facility is ongoing, with preparations well advanced. Materials are already on site, excavation for the perimeter wall has been completed and the project site is fully ready for the next phases of development. Once complete, the facility will feature a refrigeration unit and cold storage infrastructure designed to significantly reduce post-harvest losses, improve fish quality and enhance incomes for local fisherfolk. Looking ahead, plans are underway to establish a fully-fledged One-Stop Border Post (OSBP) at Muhuru Bay, to be implemented through close coordination with the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration, in order to streamline the movement of people and goods between Kenya and Tanzania, strengthen border management, facilitate cross-border trade and position the town as a strategic gateway for regional integration and Blue Economy–driven growth.

@itskipronoh When did sifuna say he will pay them?

Masinde Muliro University students are accusing Edwin Sifuna and his team of not paying the money for mobilization in Kakamega yesterday. Sifuna lipa watu!

Registration coming soon for our Career Accelerator program, an excellent opportunity to get college credit and grow professionally! #pi515 #professionaldevelopment #programming #collegecredit #desmoines

@PHIAMAX @okayojoshua If you applied this logic you too would see that Okayo has a right to speak without pressure or undue influence from others. Let people speak what they feel.

@okayojoshua The last time I checked, Kenya is a democracy, and everyone is free to make informed decisions without pressure or undue influence from anyone. Kasmuel doesn’t need anyone’s validation.

My brother Kasmuel, I have restrained myself times without number but I can't anymore. I am utterly disappointed and disgusted. This is a brotherly advice; You and I (youth) have a longer time around. This is your tribe. Those in 'pawaa' now will be long gone when you'll need your peers to have your back. You will have none should you not change your ways. This here is the bottom of the barrel.

@RodgersKipembe @itskipronoh Sifuna is smart to know that a CS seat would not get him to his political goal. No way would he want that seat.

@itskipronoh Ni ukweli. He thought atakuwa CS, baba ignored him.

PK Salasya amesema Edwin Sifuna ni conman mkubwa sana!

Real Talk with Pi515 Alum Mikayla Jensen 🎤 Mikayla shares how the Pi515 Tech Mentorship Program helped her build confidence, form meaningful connections with other students, and learn skills like Python—an experience that made a lasting impact on her path forward. #PI515

We love when alumni come back to visit us! 💚 #pi515 #student #techprogram #nonprofit #funny

@HonMoses_Kuria Question, you have served in the government in multiple capacities, what change have you brought because recycling positions isn’t governance.

We love highlighting student stories! Moss participated in our Tech Mentorship program, where he built valuable skills to support his future goals. Moss is studying software engineering at Iowa State University, and we can’t wait to see where his journey takes him next. #pi515

Just computer science things 😂 #tech #computerscience #pi515 #nonprofit #humor #developer #cybersecurity
