Three years later, in 2017, Wainaina joined a college that offered a diploma in aeronautical engineering in Nairobi. To actualise his dream, Wainaina required about Sh200,000 in fees exclusive of his upkeep. But as his classmates secured internships after three years of study, Wainaina stayed home as he did not have a certificate. Frustrated, he decided to use the knowledge he had gained to start making aircraft prototypes as a way of gaining experience and keeping himself busy. Wainaina hopes to be able to invest more in aircraft making and acquire a drone making licence.
