An opportunity arose to create, develop, and lecture a final year electrical engineering course on sustainability and the impact of engineering activity on the natural and social environments, which opened the door to several other opportunities, including the creation, development, and lecturing of a first year physical sciences course at Equine-librium. More recently, Kai was appointed as program manager and developer for a 6-course program that is being delivered at 22 universities across sub-Saharan Africa, with the goal of addressing various skills gaps in the energy sector in Africa.
