The Mentorship and Career Insights Forum organized by ISACA UON provided practical guidance on transitioning from academic life into the professional world. A key takeaway was that soft skills are just as important as technical skills. While technical knowledge forms the basis of competence, abilities such as communication, teamwork and adaptability are what distinguish individuals in real work environments.

The Makerthon, which runs from 16–20 March 2026, provides a collaborative environment where multidisciplinary student teams rapidly design, prototype and test solutions to real-world challenges. Hosted at the C4DLab innovation hub, the event reflects the University of Nairobi’s commitment to advancing innovation, entrepreneurship and technology-driven problem solving across the continent.
