Lot 17 – Digital Literacy Trainings

In July we had the privilege of hosting Lot 17 of the Digital Literacy Training. We’re equipping young minds with essential skills that open doors to opportunity in today’s digital-first world. This is part of a broader mission by I.O.Me254 to bridge the digital divide, especially in underserved regions.   Every click, every lesson, every step forward is a contribution toward self-reliance, employability, and innovation. Learning how to format documents professionally and navigating advanced features like the View and Review tabs are two examples of the practical knowledge that employers demand and communities need.

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.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the graduation of the newest Digital Literacy students from the I.O.Me005 Lab. The Digital Skills Training equips students with essential skills in digital knowledge, public speaking, pitching, digital fabrication, and more.   The aim of such trainings is to capacity-build community members, so as to allow them to reach further and higher with their careers.   At a basic level of formal development, the Digital Skills Training gives attendees the opportunity to think about how they can level up from their current position; how they can tap into greater audiences and markets.

Community Field Visit: I.O.Me005 x KRCS Lamu Branch – HCD Workshop

The Innovation Unit under the International Center for Humanitarian Affairs (ICHA) supported by I.O.Me005 conducted a field immersion and interview session with diverse community members in Lamu, as part of an ongoing Human-Centered Design (HCD) workshop. The aim was to listen directly to the voices that matter most and gain firsthand insights into their lived experiences and pressing challenges.   Through in-depth interviews, immersive field observations, and open dialogue, the team gathered valuable insights to inform the Nature-Based-Solutions (NBS) project. These findings will help shape innovative and sustainable interventions, tailored to the unique needs of the Lamu community. This HCD workshop plays a pivotal role in supporting the NBS project by identifying local challenges and working collaboratively with community members and stakeholders to co-create impactful solutions. At the hear of our approach is a simple but powerful principle: engage, listen, and learn. Together we’re co-creating lasting change.
