Caroline Nyaga
Caroline Nyaga is moving mountains to improve the future of girls and young women in Kenya by empowering them to take up science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Passionate about closing the gender gap in STEM fields, Caroline has devoted her career to inspiring and mentoring the next generation of female innovators. Through community outreach, school mentorship programs, and partnerships with educational institutions, she has reached thousands of girls across Kenya, instilling in them the confidence and curiosity needed to pursue careers in science and technology.
Caroline believes that girls, when given equal opportunity, can lead in innovation and problem-solving. She actively works to dismantle the cultural and economic barriers that often discourage young women from entering STEM disciplines. Her initiatives include coding bootcamps, robotics clubs, and science competitions designed specifically for girls, often in under-resourced areas.
Her leadership and impact have not gone unnoticed. Caroline has been recognized nationally for her role in promoting gender equity in education and has become a role model to many aspiring female scientists and engineers. By championing STEM education, she is not only opening doors for individuals but also laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and technologically advanced Kenya.
