The Essence of Learning While Doing

The campus provides a unique experience by serving students from vulnerable communities like Kiziba Refugee Camp and a few Rwandans from the neighboring communities. It is also rewarding for Kepler facilitators and staff.

“The Kepler teaching experience in Kiziba has taught me a lot. I’ve been able to experience what a professional environment is like, especially in learning essential skills like time management, balancing tasks, and building my emotional intelligence. It’s made me a better critical thinker and a better facilitator,” says Patient.

Kepler’s learning model places a strong emphasis on learning by doing, pushing our students and facilitators to be active participants in their learning experiences. This includes being keen researchers with inquisitive thinking, as well as strong critical thinkers who are able to adapt to diverse environments. Available Student Coach positions are posted on the students portal for interested students to apply and the selection process is done just like for real job placement. This is how Patient got hired as a Learning Coach while he is still a student.

“Being a facilitator at Kepler instills a spirit of hard work and growth within you. I can be a learner and a teacher at the same time. It is an environment where we all learn by doing, not only for our students but also for us as teachers as well,” says Patient.
