Imagine standing in your Nairobi apartment, slipping on a headset, and suddenly finding yourself face-to-face with a lion on the Serengeti close enough to see its whiskers twitch, yet perfectly safe. Or picture a medical student in rural Dar es Salaam performing her first virtual surgery, her hands guided by augmented reality overlays that turn mistakes into learning opportunities rather than life-threatening errors.

Technology is quietly transforming classrooms everywhere, fundamentally reshaping how we teach and learn. Kenya, therefore, is at a critical juncture where educational technology (EdTech) platforms, digital textbooks, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered content curation can be used to overcome long-standing barriers to quality education and learning accessibility challenges.
