In promoting the spirit of delivering as one, the Ministry of Education (MoE) brought together its affiliated agencies and institutions to exhibit under its stand namely; CEMASTEA, Commission for University Education, Jaramogi Oginga University of Science and Technology, Kenya Coast National Polytechnic, Kwale Teachers Training College, KNATCOM -UNESCO, Moi University and Open University of Kenya. Themed “ Promoting Climate Smart Agriculture and Trade Initiatives for Sustainable Economic Growth’.

The fair provided an excellent opportunity for CEMASTEA to showcase its activities and programmes to the public.

During the event, CEMASTEA engaged members of the public in activities that promoted critical thinking while having fun. This approach was an excellent way to raise awareness about the programmes and activities that the centre offers. By encouraging critical thinking through game based activities, CEMASTEA is instilling a desire for learning in STEM.
