Across Kenya, there’s a quiet revolution brewing, powered by the hum of processors and the glow of screens. This is the story of CLASSworks—a program that’s not just introducing technology into classrooms but weaving it into the very heartbeat of Kenyan education. It’s about empowering both students and educators to thrive in the digital age, to innovate, and to succeed.
This isn’t about the typical image of dropping off laptops and walking away. CLASSworks gets that real change takes more than just technology; it takes the right infrastructure, hands-on training, and continuous support. It’s about making sure technology becomes more than just a shiny new toy—it becomes a powerful tool that unlocks the full potential of students.
2025 is a big year for CLASSworks. The program is expanding to 50 new schools, bringing digital empowerment to thousands more students. But it’s not just about reaching more schools—it’s about deepening the impact. This year, they’re adding innovative new components that will equip students with skills to tackle the future, whatever it may hold.
Imagine students diving into coding, creating virtual structures, and solving real-world problems through programming and robotics. Picture future teachers entering the profession, not just with teaching skills, but with the digital literacy to confidently navigate today’s tech-driven classrooms. And think about students engaging in after-school activities through ClubConnect, where they can explore their creativity and expand their horizons beyond the traditional curriculum.
This is the vision CLASSworks is making a reality: a future where every student in Kenya is empowered by technology. Where they have the tools, knowledge, and skills not just to participate in the digital world, but to shape it. CLASSworks knows this requires more than just tech; it’s about training teachers, offering ongoing support, and building a culture of innovation in schools.
It is for this same reason that Telesky Foundation exists—to support initiatives that drive digital transformation in education. While Telesky Foundation doesn’t partner directly with CLASSworks, the goals are aligned. Both share a vision of empowering students and educators, and both are committed to ensuring technology becomes a tool for meaningful change in classrooms across Kenya.
CLASSworks isn’t just a program—it’s a vision of a Kenya where every child has the chance to reach their full potential. And little by little, that vision is coming to life, one digital classroom at a time.
