BEADS STEAM PROGRAM

The STEAM program (Science, Technology, Engineering Art & Mathematics) encourages our learners to apply scientific concepts to solve real-world problems. The world is increasingly driven by technology, data, and innovation. From artificial intelligence and renewable energy to biotechnology and space exploration, almost every major challenge and opportunity of the 21st century requires strong STEAM skills.

 

BEADS TEMBEA STEAM PROGRAMS

NSTEM Projects
The BEADS Tembea Chapter of the National STEM Honor Society (NSTEM) empowers learners through collaboration, innovation, and recognition. By joining NSTEM, students gain access to national STEM networks, mentorship, and scholarships, fostering leadership, creativity, and confidence while preparing them to tackle real‑world challenges with scientific rigor.
Robotics
Students learn to build and program robots, developing problem-solving skills, coding knowledge, and engineering thinking through hands-on projects.
Space Exploration
Our telescopes give our girls the opportunity to interact with the space. Through astronomy, rocketry, and planetary science activities, learners explore the universe and develop curiosity about space technology and science.
KSEF Projects
Kenya Science and Engineering Fair projects prepare students to compete at county and national levels with original scientific research and innovations.

Our STEAM Success Stories

 

10th Grade student

Feature 1

The BEADS Tembea students, in joint collaboration with St. Joseph School in Wakefield, presented their ground-breaking project on microplastics in our water, soil and food at the National STEM Honor Society. Their investigation revealed measurable traces of microplastics in local water sources, underscoring the urgent need for environmental awareness and sustainable practices. The school now strives to eliminate use of plastics by both students and staff.

Esther

eSTHER RAWUA -MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT

Esther Rawua one of our college students, pursuing a degree program in Mechanical engineering has been invited again to attend the Indigenous Geothermal Symposium and the Geothermal Rising Conference. The symposium will take place in June, 2026 and the conferences will both be held at Peppermill Reno, Nevada. The international event will bring together Indigenous leaders, industry experts, and community members to explore the potential of geothermal energy for sustainable development within indigenous communities. She is now working on her travel documents, and we are excited that she is part of this great endeavor.
