Growing up, Michelle Mukami attended Mariakani Primary School, where there was no electricity, let alone digital resources. Learning science was tough, experiments were just words in a textbook, and understanding concepts without seeing them in action felt impossible.Everything changed when she joined Kambi Mawe Girls Secondary School. For the first time, she sat in front of a real computer, thanks to the STEM Steps Project, a partnership between Camara Education and Dell Technologies. It was a game-changer! Through interactive simulations, Michelle finally saw science come to life. Complex topics that once felt confusing started making sense, and she discovered a love for technology, especially AI.AI didn’t just help her understand science better; it changed the way she thought. She became more analytical, solving problems step by step. That’s when inspiration struck: what if AI could help predict rainfall patterns? Farmers in her community struggle with unpredictable weather, and she dreams of creating an AI-powered system to help them plan better."AI has opened my mind to endless possibilities. I want to use technology to solve real-world problems, starting with helping farmers predict rainfall and fight climate change," Michelle says with determination.Now, Michelle is determined to pursue meteorology and use AI to improve weather forecasting. Her goal? To help combat climate change and make life easier for farmers. From a school with no electricity to a future driven by technology, Michelle’s journey proves that with the right opportunities, anything is possible!In 2025, Camara Education is prioritising the integration of AI into digital education, helping young people like Michelle unlock new opportunities, develop future-ready skills, and drive real-world change in their communities. ...

The discussions focused on practical ways to maximise these resources, ensuring ICT becomes an integral part of education at Kavingoni.A key highlight of the visit was the engagement with ICT club members. At the assembly point, James Jira addressed the club alongside its patrons, the Principal, and a teacher.
