ARISE / MONTHS 1–4
Notice. Ask. Sketch.
Listen to a community need, explore materials, draw a first idea, and learn to define a problem with clear criteria for success.

ENGINEERING / 2026–2027
Imagine a solution.
Build a possibility.
Make it better.
Her ideas deserve a place on the workbench. Girls in rural Kenya learn to design, build, measure, and improve practical prototypes—connecting creative thinking with the needs of their community.

01 / THREE CONNECTED DESIGN PROJECTS
From a good question
to a working model.
Choose a project to explore the challenge, constraints, testing approach, and evidence a learner can bring to her portfolio.
Proposed learning projects, adapted by local educators to age, readiness, available materials, and the school calendar. Learners start with accessible models; qualified educators and technicians guide tools, low-voltage electronics, and practical testing.
02 / ARISE, ACTUALIZE, APPLY
A year of growing
design confidence.
Engineering connects Science’s questions, Technology’s tools, Mathematics’ measurements, and the Arts’ imagination.
ACTUALIZE / MONTHS 5–8
Build. Measure. Revise.
Create a small prototype, run repeatable tests, compare observations, and use feedback to make a reasoned design change.
APPLY / MONTHS 9–12
Refine. Explain. Share.
Apply design habits to her required year-end technology invention. Show how it works, describe its limits, and defend the next improvement.
PROGRESS A FUNDER CAN EXPLORE
The year-end invention ↗Intended learning evidence includes labeled drawings, materials and cost records, test data, a working model, and reflection on a redesign. These are planned portfolio artifacts; program results will be measured during delivery.
