Today we feature one of our fabulous Ed2Save Fellows, Ariam Mogos. She is on her way to Kenya to develop an innovation lab where young people test out their solutions to local challenges.
During our recent collaborative, Ariam offered up a challenge many of us face: How do we support teachers to take on important programming especially when they already face heavy workloads? She received lots of great suggestions from other Ed2Save Fellows — and we will continue to support her as she spends 6 months developing her program in Kenya.
