Programs
Our STEM workshops in Migori County engage middle-school students in interactive learning of chemistry, biology, physics, and more. Through hands-on STEM kits, we provide fun activities to ignite curiosity in unexplored educational areas. By exposing students to these subjects early, we create pathways for them to pursue advanced courses in high school, opening doors to diverse opportunities.
Additionally, we send girls to high school by providing for costs. Ideally, we want to send the girls to boarding school so we can alleviate the pressures of early marriage, early pregnancy, household chores and cyclical poverty. A donation of $50 goes a long way as the cost for one year of school is $200 (day school) and $400 for boarding school. Boarding school costs cover: food, board, tuition, textbooks & stationary as well as personal hygiene needs. By donating to these girls, we ensure their future is bright and full of opportunity.
Workshops
We conduct STEM workshops to encourage girls grades 6-8 to pursue the sciences. Kenya is in their digital age and many job openings are available in STEM fields. By encouraging these girls to pursue tricky and difficult science subjects, we enable them to pursue higher paying and status jobs in the future.
Previous Experiments
Lemon Battery Experiment
Can a fruit power a lightbulb? Using a lemon, two metal electrodes, and some wire, participants discover how chemical reactions can generate electricity — the same basic principle behind every battery we use today.
April 26th, 2025: Lemon Battery STEM kit. Group of girls (6th grade) who made a working battery as indicated by the red light
CD Hovercraft
How does air help levitation? Using CD's, a balloon, and some hot glue, students are able to see the interactions between the balloon, air, and the table, telling them about force interactions and how levitation works.
June 30, 2025: Girls made their own CD hovercrafts, which they raced across a table!
Elephant Toothpaste
A rapid chemical reaction sends a giant foam explosion erupting from a container — way too much toothpaste for any elephant. This dramatic demo brings enzyme-driven decomposition to life in the most eye-catching way possible.
June 30, 2025: Swetan Sinha demonstrating elephant toothpaste experiment to group of girls before learning about how it works
Cartesian Diver
How does pressure work? This experiment uses buoyancy and pressure to show how changing pressure can move objects. Using a water bottle, paper clips and straws, students can investigate forces at play in water
June 30th, 2025: Swetan Sinha conducting Cartesian Diver Experiment. A squeeze of the bottle will make the "diver" (made of paper clips and straws) sink to the bottom.
Waterbottle Vortex
How can we make the flow of water faster? Using a water bottle, students were challenged to empty the bottle as fast as possible by using a vortex. Record high is 1s!
June 30th, 2025: Group of girls (6-8 grade) pouring water bottles and spinning the bottle to create a vortex.
