Ms Anyango was selected from 12,000 nominations and applications from more than 140 countries. “Given access to tech resources and jobs, Kenyan children can be as successful as those in Silicon Valley,” Ms Anyango said. During every school term, Ms Anyango put technology and engineering in her students’ hands to stimulate their interest.
