Shashank Arvindan, a 15-year-old student from Aga Khan Academy Mombasa (AKA), has created a model for a solar-powered airport for Mombasa, which could save millions of shillings a year in energy charges. This project is part of the International Baccalaureate programme at the Aga Khan Academy that challenges students to undertake in-depth research on a topic of their own interest and deliver a viable product or outcome. Shashank Arvindan, who is now working to present the model to Mombasa Airport and other relevant authorities, is one of more than 80 students who developed new products and concepts for this year’s personal projects at AKA Mombasa.
