Description
The Kenyatta University Physics Club (KUPHYC) is a vibrant youth-led initiative dedicated towards igniting interest in STEM, with an increasing focus on astronomy. Our activities include workshops in Astronights, featuring celestial observations and astrophysics conversations, as well as partnerships with international events like International Cosmic Day and masterclasses like the Atlas and Pierre Auger.I will also share some notable successes of the year like our outreach activities like mentorship programs for high school students, that aims at introducing them to astronomy fundamentals. Also how our visits to facilities like solar power plants broadens our knowledge on the link between renewable energy and space science.
