UoN Company Series students and staff together with KSA staff take a group photo after the industry-academia interaction.
As part of the Engineering and Science Complex (ESC) Company Series Program, in collaboration with the African Engineering and Technology (Afretec) Project, 20 University of Nairobi students visited the Kenya Space Agency (KSA) on 3rd March 2026 for an eye-opening industry experience.
During the visit, students interacted with KSA staff, exploring the agency’s vision, mandate, and core activities. They learned about space policies, ongoing programs, and collaborations with academia, gaining a rare insight into how a national space agency operates.
The visit offered students a unique chance to connect theory with practice, ask questions and understand the role of space science in research, technology and innovation. This experience not only broadened their understanding of the industry but also inspired creative thinking and innovation in their own fields.
The University of Nairobi thanks KSA for hosting the students and providing an invaluable platform for learning and mentorship. Initiatives like the Company Series Program continue to bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing students to be the next generation of innovators in science, engineering and technology.
