Lamu County launched the Dhow Science Bus on March 1, 2025—a solar-powered van bringing dhow-building, buoyancy, and navigation lessons to 20 island schools. Math isn’t abstract—it’s in the sail’s angle, said teacher Salim Rajab. Students build model dhows and race them. Aga Khan Trust funded the bus. UNESCO is reviewing it for STEM innovation. National rollout planned for 2026.
