It is that time of the year again. When our young men and women go out into the world and get to showcase the innovative projects they have been working on. This year, our presence at the Science and Engineering Fair was as our students showcased projects that they had worked on over the last few months.

Competing with the best of the best

We had a total of five projects proceed to the Kiambu County Kenya Science and Engineering Fair 2019. It is important to note that by far, competitions within Kiambu County are the most competitive within the country due to the heavy presence of seasoned powerhouses. At the Sub County level, we managed to clinch the top two categories across 12 different projects presented by both the boys and the girls. The young men who represented us in Computer Science and Engineering Projects are as follows:

Intel Cyberops presented by Isaac Muendo (F4) and Kimani Kamau (F3) – This project covered how to enhance cyber security in a rapidly changing world. Scooped the 1st position in the Computer Science category

Skout, a website for scouting athletic talent scooped the 2nd position under the very able leadership of our very own Robert Maathai (F3) and Issa Mbagathi (F3)

Retro Vision, a project on integrating different gaming systems on a single device. A brainchild of Vuyo Chebon (F2) and Andrew Michatha (F2) stood in at a very strong 3rd position thoroughly cementing the Computer Science category at the competitions a strictly Nova Pioneer affair!

Innovation is the name of the game

For our absolute fixers in the Engineering Category, we saw our Form 2 students win the top prize with their E-bin. The E-bin is a litter bin that automatically scans bar codes on your trash and recommends where you can replenish your grocery supply conveniently. This was the brilliant result of collaborative work between Michael Makobi (F2) and Christopher Njihia (F2). The two young men proceeded to the county’s having clinched a superbly deserved  3rd position.
