The United States government has allocated Sh15 million to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education in Kenya. This investment aims to increase economic opportunities for Kenyan students through the Kenya-USA Global Launchpad Initiative (KUGLI). Spearheaded by Kenyan scholar Dr Churchill Saoke, the program focuses on empowering 131 students from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) . It will enable them to become entrepreneurs and innovators,  capable of addressing emerging challenges across various sectors.
