Interesting opportunity for recent high school graduates: baretscholars.org/the-cohort…
One-year fellowship to travel the world and learn along the way. They're hoping to get strong applicants from West Africa. May be of interest to @Ashesi 1st or 2nd year students.
Looking forward to this!
Happy to announce that Dr. Heather Beem and Mawuena Asem Hanson will be presenting at the CIES 2024 Conference in Miami, USA. Additionally, PEN will be launching the Hands-on Teacher Resource Manuals for Mathematics at the primary school level.

Fantastic seeing you David! More strength and wisdom for all you do.
It's always a pleasure to connect with @MIT students, alums, & friends. Inspiring conversations at the @SolveMIT Challenge on sidelines of #UNGA78. Fellow MIT alum Heather Beem @esibeem, a former SOLVE winner, keeps charting her vision of brining quality science education to all!
ALT Long time Solve friends and leaders Hala and Sara
ALT Always inspired by my friend Heather Beem. She works hard and silently.
From Philly to DC - making the rounds with the indomitable Sangay Freeman, Director STEM MoE Liberia! Presenting on the successful pilot @PEN_ed wrapped up and painting the picture we've co-created for the next 5 yrs in Liberia.
Thx to ACANA and @mEducation_A. Tmrw WorldBank!

Join PEN in transforming STEM education in Ghana🚀
Our Science and Mathematics manuals, approved by Ghana's National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), are game-changers. They are designed to be practical, cost-effective, and aligned with the national curriculum.
We are #hiring National Service (NSS) Personnel to join our team at @PEN_ed and promote #STEM #education in #Ghana. Please share the word!
I'm thrilled to share the release of @PEN_ed's 2022 Annual Report!
The year enabled us to expand our handprints beyond Ghana reaching teachers and learners like never before in our history.
