Michelle’s Journey into AI and Meteorology

by CamaraICT in EducationKenyaOur Impact

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!

Chinika Secondary School in Zambia

by Our ImpactYouth Skills & DevelopmentZambia

We are pleased to share a short video featuring Grace Pilli, a promising student at Chinika Secondary School in Zambia. In this video, Grace discusses her aspirations to pursue a career in computer science and artificial intelligence (AI), fields that are increasingly vital in shaping the future of technology, innovation, and society. Grace’s ambition reflects the growing interest and potential of young people across Africa to become leaders in these transformative areas.

At Camara Education, we recognise the profound role that AI and digital skills will play in the future. This year, we are focusing on providing students with the tools and knowledge they need to engage with AI and other emerging technologies. By equipping students with the skills necessary to thrive in a digital world, we are not only opening doors to future employment but also empowering them to create innovative solutions to the challenges facing their communities and the wider world.

Grace’s story is one of many that illustrates the impact of our work, made possible through the support of our generous partners, including Lenovo. Their contributions are vital in providing the digital learning tools and technology that allow students to access opportunities they might otherwise be denied. Donors like Lenovo play an essential role in helping us bridge the digital divide, ensuring that young people in underserved areas have access to the resources they need to succeed.

This year, as we focus on AI and its integration into education, we are also expanding our support for teachers. Teachers are at the heart of any education system, and their ability to effectively integrate technology into their classrooms is crucial for student success. Through training programmes, workshops, and access to digital resources, we are equipping teachers with the skills and support they need to effectively teach AI and other tech-driven subjects. By empowering educators, we ensure that students are not only gaining access to the tools they need but also benefiting from teachers who can guide them in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

The work we do would not be possible without the continued collaboration and support of our donors, partners, and local staff. We are grateful to those who share our vision and make it a reality, whether through providing technology, funding, or expertise. Through these partnerships, we are creating lasting change in the lives of students and teachers alike, ensuring that education remains a powerful tool for personal and societal transformation.

Together, we can continue to invest in the future of young minds and teachers, particularly in AI and digital learning. By providing the necessary resources and support, we are helping students and educators alike realise their full potential and shape the future of technology, education, and society.
