A Little HELP goes A Long way. Help us fulfill our mandate through STEM or any of our projects as we work together in reviving the space industry in the country and as we journey together to Mars.
The objective: Building capacity in Kenya in space mission design and management
Skills in space mission design and management can effectively be gained in a “learning by doing” perspective, using “hands-on” education.
The traditional approach to capacity building in developing countries is mainly based on fellowships granted to single selected students, to attend Courses and/or obtain a Degree in industrialized countries
In this way the gained know-how is dispersed in several “isolated” skilled individuals
The real challenge:
How do we set up a process locally, so that the capacity is maintained and kept at an Institutional level and not merely at the individuals level.
