Building Robots, Building Confidence
The Leo Project's Mind + Machine program pairs hands-on robotics with social-emotional learning for students ages 9 to 13 in rural Laikipia County, Kenya. Over five weeks, students went from never having touched a computer to building, programming, and troubleshooting their own robots. As TLP instructor Francis Macharia shared, they "didn't just build robots, they built innovation, curiosity, and confidence."
Building Digital Literacy in Rural Kenya
Today, digital skills are more than an advantage—they’re a necessity. But in rural Kenya, many young people and adults are still missing out.
At The Leo Project, we’re bridging the digital divide through hands-on learning in local schools and our Resource Center—helping everyone from primary school students to small business owners gain the tools they need to succeed.
