Smart Education. Bold Futures: How Microsoft Kenya & EYW Are Opening Doors for Girls and Boys in Tech
Raw talent is everywhere. What’s missing is the doorway. At EYW, we build that bridge — with purpose, with excellence, and with learning experiences that unlock potential where few dare to look.
On March 28th, 2025, a group of high school girls and boys from the EYW community stepped into a different world — the world of Microsoft Innovation Garage, East Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. But more than just a workshop, this was a window into possibility.
💡 They weren’t just students for the day — they were future innovators exploring AI, IoT, and the many paths a career in technology can take. From immersive tech sessions to intimate mentoring circles with Microsoft professionals, the day was a masterclass in inspiration, exposure, and empowerment.
✨ The stories they heard weren’t just job descriptions — they were testaments of resilience, purpose, and choice. Each moment offered insight into what it truly means to dream bigger, work smarter, and lead with impact.
🎓 They left with skills. They left with certificates. But most of all, they left empowered.
Because we’re not just preparing students for the future — we’re helping them shape it. With integrity, elegance, and relentless hard work, we walk beside them — equipping, nurturing, and challenging them to rise.
To our ally Microsoft, thank you for believing in this journey. Thank you for opening doors, minds, and hearts. Together, we’re forging futures for youth in Kenya’s toughest places. Thank you for the effort made by the Microsoft Garage team, it was truly appreciated: @Gurupreet Dhanjal, @Lydiah Karanja, @Julia Muiruri. To @Iria Tobio a brilliant Modern Workplace Specialist Microsoft, UCL student, and forever part of our Pride. Your drive, commitment, and belief in what’s possible played an instrumental role in making this experience a reality.
