Two students from Nova Pioneer Boys High School in Eldoret, Kon Lual Ajok and Ian Mwadiloh, have emerged as the overall winners of the eighth Young Scientists Kenya (YSK) National Science and Technology Exhibition. Their blockchain-powered project, Afronomy Chain, is a web system that enables real-time tracking of public funds from collection to expenditure in a bid to curb corruption.
The innovation stood out among 130 student-led Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) projects submitted from across the country, earning the pair a four year university scholarship at Strathmore University, Sh100,000 in cash, mobile phones, and an all-expenses-paid trip to Dublin, Ireland, where they'll represent Kenya at the Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition 2026, courtesy of the Embassy of Ireland.
