Students from local secondary schools visit KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme in Kilifi. During the visit, they get an opportunity to tour the immunology and microbiology laboratories and meet researchers from whom they learn about KEMRI, medical research and careers in science.
The Science Symposium is one of our major annual events in Kilifi. Students representing over 30 schools within Kilifi County compete in a science quiz to win fantastic prizes. Schools are ranked according to their overall performance in the quizzes and tasks during the symposium.
We host diverse groups of Science club students drawn from different schools to present their concepts to be showcased at the Science and Engineering Fair Competition.
A panel of researchers based at the Programme reviews and gives feedback to students on how to improve their projects. The projects cut across a range of scientific fields including agriculture,biology, mathematics, physics, engineering, environmental studies, transport and energy, applied technology and ICT.
The Schools Engagement Programme was established by KEMRI with the support of Kilifi County Education Office. It aims at promoting an interest in science and science related careers among students and to promote mutual understanding between members of the community and researchers.
