Marsabit County has unveiled a new digital learning initiative aimed at transforming secondary education through technology.
The programme, launched in selected schools across the county, introduces students to digital tools such as coding, animation, and problem-solving applications.
Spearheaded by the county government in partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the project seeks to prepare learners for opportunities in the digital economy while fostering creativity and innovation in the classroom.
Speaking during the launch, Governor Mohamud Ali emphasized the importance of equipping young people with future-ready skills. “Our students must be prepared to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. These centres will give them the tools to explore, learn, and innovate,” he said.

Support for the project has come from several development partners, including Aga Khan University and UNICEF, who have contributed resources and technical expertise to make the centres operational.
According to the county’s education department, the digital centres are expected to enhance access to learning materials, promote interactive teaching, and stimulate student engagement. Officials say the facilities will serve as pilot models, with plans to replicate them in other schools across Marsabit.
