Know More About
Our Grand Event
The STEM Learning Ecosystem (Kenya) convenes educators, learners, and industry stakeholders to bridge the gap between classroom practice and workforce readiness.
Current classroom practices in many countries are not sufficiently aligned with industry needs. The STEM Learning Ecosystem (Kenya) seeks to bridge the gap between classroom practice and industry through meaningful dialogue and actionable commitments.
Community of Practice for Industry-Education Partnerships
(COPIE)

Testimonials
What Our Visitors Say
WODE 2024 was a turning point for our organisation. The conversations we had with oral health practitioners from across the continent opened doors we didn't know existed. We left with partnerships, insights, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Dr. Amina Oduya
Oral Health Programme Lead, Uganda
The convening brought together the brightest minds in oral development under one roof. As a researcher, the cross-border exchange of data and best practices was invaluable. I cannot wait to be part of WODE 2026.
Prof. Samuel Kariuki
Dental Public Health Researcher, Kenya
Attending WODE gave me the confidence to advocate for oral health equity in my community. The sessions were practical, the speakers were inspiring, and the network I built continues to support my work every day.
