Young Scientists Kenya is a unique platform in East Africa, for young people from across Kenyan counties to demonstrate their innovation and showcase their scientific talents. It is based on the premise that a wealth of talent and potential for innovation exists in Kenya. Through annual exhibitions and mentoring programmes, Young Scientists Kenya will help to popularize science and technology amongst young people and encourage them to develop projects that seek practical solutions to the problems we face within the society. The first National Science and Technology Exhibition will take place on 5-6 July 2018 in Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), Nairobi. It will feature innovative scientific projects that students have submitted and will be attended by national and international guests drawn from the government, private sector, academia, civil society and other non-state actors and schools throughout the country.
