STEAM Workshop

This workshop ran with the theme: Technology in Climate Action. This was both educational and very exciting. We had a simple introduction to environmental conservation, then jumped into coding.   The kids built a game where your tree only grows if you keep perfectly still. After that we shifted gears into hands-on science, exploring how CO₂ affects temperature rise in the environment. The kids ran a reaction using calcium carbonate and HCl, watching it produce water and carbon dioxide, and learning how those gases play out in the real world. We went on a deep dive into electronic components: LEDs, sensors, and microcontrollers. This showed the kids how each piece plays its part in transforming an input into a meaningful output. We then moved into full hands-on innovation where the kids assembled smart garden prototypes using Arduino boards, breadboards, soil-moisture/water meters, and wiring.

S.T.E.A.M Squad: Create, Build, Explore!

Over 50 bright young minds lit up the I.O.Me001 Social Innovation Hub in Mombasa during an unforgettable STEAM event hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) at I.O.Me001 Social Innovation Hub, Mombasa. The room was crackling with curiosity and creativity as children explored everything from circuit boards to virtual reality, diving headfirst into hands-on activities that challenged their thinking and sparked their imaginations. But this wasn’t just about fun tech experiments — it was about asking big questions, solving real-world problems, and nurturing the innovators of tomorrow. This energy wasn’t just felt in Mombasa. The ripple effects of events like these echo across all I.O.Me254 spaces. As we continue bridging creativity with technology and purpose, it’s clear that when young people are given tools and the space to explore, they don’t just participate – they lead. And that’s exactly the future we’re working to build.

FabKids: Climate Conversations

Our 3-Day holiday workshop kicked off with a splash! The young scientists dived into the water cycle; evaporation, condensation, rain and collection through stories, discussions, and fun DIY experiments. The kids discovered how water keeps our world alive and how the Earth itself works as a natural filter, recycling water so its clean and ready for life. What makes this FabKids training different from the last ones is that this one is centred around climate conversations. The theme of this training is: innovating water access for a climate-resilient future. This initiative supports Sustainable Development Goals: 13 (take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts) 14 (conserve and sustainably use the ocean, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development).

S.T.E.A.M Summer Camp

In July, the I.O.Me001 Social Innovation Center launched our 2-week STEAM Summer Camp, where our young students were able to participate in a variety of enriching activities. They have explored coding through Scratch, worked on electronics, and engaged in canvas painting, arts & crafts, and DIY projects. Additionally, students delved into pottery, 3D printing, and robotics, further expanding their skills in both creative and technological fields.   We are proud to provide a platform for young learners to explore and develop in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M).

FootPrints Family Workshop : Kwale County

Adding to the FabKids agenda, in the month of July we had a training in Kwale County. We dove into the world of animation and storytelling using Scratch! The kids explored the “Next Customer Please” game and even built their own Space Talk games, all of that completely on their own.           Using the simple materials available around them, the children engineered mini-excavators powered by hydraulics, learning firsthand how pressure and motion work together in real machines. Unlike regular gardens, these smart ones use sensors to detect soil moisture to then automatically water the plants. This has introduced the kids to real-world applications of tech in agriculture.
