Teachers' EdTech Summit 2026 Highlights
(Part 1/2)

115 teachers. One full day. Real classroom solutions.

Here is a brief overview of what went down on Friday, 21st August at Makini Schools:

The summit officially opened with remarks from Ciku Mbugua who set the tone for the day with a keynote connecting teachers' everyday classroom realities to the bigger picture of education system change. Her address reflected on the journey and impact of the 2024 and 2025 Teacher Policy Co-Creation Sessions, and reaffirmed the importance of teacher voice and leadership in shaping the future of education.

👉Naftali Muroki from Metis led the first session, The METIS Way

To break the ice, be started with the Marshmallow Challenge (teams building the tallest tower out of spaghetti, tape and marshmallows!). This doubled as
a hands-on lesson in collaboration, rapid prototyping and learning through failure.
The METIS Way is a 5-step process (Make Meaning, Empathize, Tackle, Iterate, Share) that helped teachers turn one real classroom problem into an actual action plan.
