About
Hey there, I'm Samwel Machuki Nyabuto, a Biology and Agriculture teacher in a secondary school, bringing lessons to life since 2017. I love making complex concepts simple and fun, whether it's dissecting frogs or exploring crop rotation strategies . As patron of the Kenya Science and Engineering Fair, I get to spark curiosity and innovation in young minds .
In the classroom, it's all about hands-on learning – experiments, projects, and connecting biology and agriculture to real-life situations. When I'm not teaching, you can find me on the sports field, coaching soccer and handball – it's a great way to build teamwork and discipline!
