This event is scheduled to take place on 14th to 16th November at University of Nairobi Towers.

Hundreds of thousands of organizations in every field are using GIS to make maps that communicate, perform analysis, share information, and solve complex problems around the world. This is changing the way the world works and we want to provide an environment to put us ahead of this curve. 

The highlights of the three-day event will be:

- Networking sessions with other Students and potential employers

The party which was organised by the department took place on 4 th November 2022 at Sagret Hotel in Nairobi.The party brought together all the staffs of the department .

It was a moment of its kind when good memories of the retiree was shared.The department is greatful to all the retiree for having dedicated their life into serving the university.Among the retiree was the first lady in the department to do Surveying,Madam Tabitha Njoroge who served as a lecture in the department for many years.

The program format is comprised of three main activities
Lectures by lead experts on Orbital Mechanics, Astrophysics,Space Application & Entrepreneurship ,Systems Architecture and Engineering,Propulsion technology etc.

The team also had intensive workshops and electronics and mechanics, programming, numerical methods,computer aided design and 3D printing, pitching workshops .

Relying on virtual participation only is questionable for a sustainable university cooperation aimed at integrating students: it is essential that personal and intercultural student exchange takes place beyond the actual project work, e.g. through socializing. Exchange is further sup- ported by 10 individual scholarships for an entire semester or a final thesis research period at HKA, UP or UoN over a period of three years up to 2025.

The applications are open only to applicants for september 2022 intake.

The department of Geospatial and Space Technology ,University of Nairobi emblaces the new technology of mapping.This has exposed students to the rapidly growing technologies in the field of Geospatial .With a drone, surveyors can capture many more topographic data points, hence more accurate volume measurements.

It can be done for a road that exists on the map as well as the ground, road existing on the map and not the ground and vice versa.The objective was Collection of data for route location survey using RTK.

These are what are needed to start the route location survey

The visit was aimed at familiarizing the students with industrial aspects of Hydrographic Survey, Satellite Techniques related to Geospatial Engineering and Nautical Charts.

During the visit, the 47 students attended a brief session at the Kenya Navy Maritime Operations Center where they were apprised by Major Stephen Ayonga on Hydrography in the Kenyan context with a bias of its role in the Blue Economy Agenda.

The students were then hosted onboard Kenya Navy Ship Jasiri and briefed on the mechanisms of Maritime Engineering before proceeding for a sea ride.
