KSA partnered with Apollo Science Children’s Park over the weekend to host a day Science event. The park seeks to engage children, parents and teachers in exciting and diverse hands-on science activities. The Astronomy and Space Science Department engages in space education and outreach to help create awareness on space related subjects and the agency’s presence and mandate in the country.
The Space Club is an educative program within the KSA by the Education and Outreach department, whose aim is to increase GEO STEM (Geography, Science Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) subject uptake right from lower level in school.
The park allows surrounding community children to witness the changes in technologies and introduces them to the various scientific fields of study so as to help shape, guide and inspire their future careers. Children from St Clement Primary School, Thigio and others as far as Nakuru county graced the day event.
