02 / SHAPING THE FIRST PILOT
Start with a community.
Build a year that belongs.
The curriculum has a clear direction. The first delivery plan will be agreed with educators, families, and participating communities.
A first cohort, thoughtfully sized
Participant numbers and admission arrangements will follow educator capacity, access, and available resources.
Age and readiness matter
The model includes Grade 5 and Grade 8 mathematics pathways, garden science for ages 10–12, and a guided extension for learners over 13. Final admission ages remain to be agreed.
Twelve months of growth
The 2026–2027 curriculum vision follows Arise, Actualize, Apply. Exact start and end dates depend on the local calendar and delivery readiness.
Hands-on, live & hybrid
Planned weekly practical labs, monthly mentor circles, guided projects, and global volunteer mathematics support connect learning with practice.
A team being developed
Community, educator, technical, and delivery relationships are being explored. No participating partner is represented as confirmed.
03 / EXPLORE WHAT A YEAR COULD REQUIRE
Make the resources visible.
See where support could fit.
Change a planning assumption, model an in-kind contribution, and see the remaining cash requirement. All amounts are in Kenyan shillings.
Starting values are editable placeholders, not quotations, market estimates, a funding target, or secured support. The first pilot’s approved budget will use local costs, a confirmed cohort, and agreed delivery responsibilities. The model covers 12 months; scholarship and invention awards remain subject to finalized funding and terms.
