Gender Justice in Stem Research in Africa (GeJuSTA)
Girls and women have consistently been underrepresented in most Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professions, necessitating research. There is a need to define and execute measures and policies to help reduce this gap.

Lithium-ion Battery State Of Charge Estimation
Monitoring the State of Charge (SoC) of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for assessing the available energy stored within them.
Unlike voltage and current, SoC cannot be directly measured.

Camera Trap
At DSAIL, we have designed, developed and deployed 4 camera traps in the Dedan Kimathi Wildlife Conservancy to capture images of the mammalian species found there. The camera traps are based on low-cost hardware; the Raspberry Pi 2, the Raspberry Pi Zero and the OpenMV Cam H7 modules.
