Let the Exploration and Learning Begin!
As we embark on this technological journey, let us not forget that the true power of this lab lies not in the hardware or software but in the hands of our students. It is their curiosity, creativity, and dedication that will turn this space into a hub of innovation.
ZOO Memorial Foundation’s launch event for the Kisukioni Primary School Digital Computer Lab hosted several guests from Dell Technologies and local county officials. The computer lab was installed in May 2023 and the launch was a celebratory event to mark its official opening and to give appreciation for all those who made it possible. Kisukioni Primary School is the only school in the area with a computer lab, highlighting the need and importance of supporting digital education.
Among the local leaders in attendance was the Member County Assembly, Kyeleni Ward, Matungulu Constituency, Hon. Grace Bahati Zora, who is also the Chairperson of the Education Committee, Machakos County. The speech she delivered at the event was most fitting and is published below.
