The Raspberry Pi Foundation (RPF), in partnership with Riara University, is implementing the Kenya Curriculum Project, an initiative designed to strengthen computing education in schools across Kenya. The project focuses on building teachers’ capacity, enhancing pedagogical practices, and supporting the effective implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Through this collaboration, teachers are equipped with practical digital skills, innovative teaching methodologies, and relevant resources to expand learners’ access to quality computing education and better prepare them for a digitally driven future.
As part of the implementation, teacher training sessions have been conducted across ten counties: Nairobi County, Kiambu County, Nyandarua County, Kajiado County, Makueni County, Nyeri County, Murang’a County, Laikipia County, Embu County, and Machakos County. In 2026, several county-level trainings were successfully delivered. The Laikipia training, marking the first session of the year, was held on 23rd and 24th January 2026 at Breeze Hotel in Nyahururu, bringing together 97 teachers. This was followed by the Nyeri training on 30th and 31st January 2026 at White Rhino Hotel, with participation from 110 teachers. The session was attended by the TSC County Director, whose presence reinforced institutional support and inspired participants.
Subsequently, the Murang’a training took place on 6th and 7th February 2026 at Stanley’s Haven Hotel, with 99 teachers in attendance. The Embu training followed on 20th and 21st February 2026 at Mavvel Hotel, bringing together 102 teachers from across the county. The Machakos training was conducted on 28th February and 1st March 2026 at SEO Hotel, where 98 teachers actively engaged in the sessions.
Across all counties, teachers demonstrated strong commitment, active engagement, and enthusiasm in acquiring new computing competencies and pedagogical approaches. These trainings have significantly strengthened teachers’ confidence and capacity to effectively deliver computing lessons within the CBC framework.
To assess progress and impact, a project review meeting was convened in Naivasha on 27th March 2026. The meeting provided a platform for reflection, cross-county experience sharing, identification of key successes and challenges, and strategic planning for the next phase of implementation.
During the session, the team also confirmed timelines for upcoming third-day review sessions across participating counties to ensure sustained support and post-training follow-up. In addition, Master Trainers undertook a targeted capacity-building session focused on enhancing facilitation techniques, learner engagement, and best practices in delivering computing content, further strengthening the quality and impact of future trainings.
