It's always encouraging to hear directly from students how the hands-on approach is enabling better learning!
Happy Adobea, a student from the La Dadekotopon Municipal area in Ghana, talks about how practical activities in her lessons have helped her improve in school. She is now excited and always looks forward to math and science lessons! #STEM #Practicalactivities #HandsOnLearning"
A new version of PEN's website is up! You can now see profiles of our exemplar STEM teachers, take a sample of our training online, read research articles on our approach and more. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/e_EaCMR7
One of the joys of my year is seeing first-semester engineering students take on a challenging design project and see it to fruition! This year our students built rockets with actuating fins and their own PCBs. It's a gift to come alongside the initial stage of their engineering journey.

Celebrating Teamwork and Learning: My First Enginneering Project at Ashesi University I'm thrilled to share my experience on International Space Station Shuttle Project, my first project as part of the vibrant Ashesi community! Throughout this journey, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with a fantastic team –Austine Awiah, Bartels Atindana & Vitus Ayariga – and learn from the invaluable guidance of Professors Heather Beem, Nicholas Korblah Tali, TPE-GhIE & David Asante-Asare. I'm incredibly proud of what we accomplished as a team. ISS Shuttle Project provided a valuable learning experience, and I'm grateful for the support and guidance from both my professors and teammates. Looking Forward! This project has ignited my passion for engineering. I'm eager to connect with experienced professionals and continue learning. Feel free to share your insights in the comments below, or connect with me to chat further! #AshesiUniversity #FirstProject #Teamwork #LearningExperience

It was great having Rotary Clubs Colorado Springs and Accra West come together to make this happen!
Yesterday, Practical Education Network (PEN) with support from the Rotary Clubs of Colorado Springs and Accra West, donated over 300 copies of PEN’s Hands-on Science Teacher Resource Manual to all public school teachers in Shai Osudoku in the Greater Accra Region. The goal is to make practical STEM education more accessible to learners in underserved communities. In addition to receiving copies of these manuals, the teachers will also benefit from mini-training sessions that will introduce them to hands-on science activities that leverage locally available materials. Special thanks to the Director of the Shai Osudoku Education Office, Madam Harriet Lomotey, for her support in implementing this initiative. #handsonlearning #donation #teachertraining #practicallearning #stemeducation #scienceactivities

I had heard of Desh Deshpande during my time at Massachusetts Institute of Technology - his handprint is at MIT. Now I've met him and seen his handprint across his hometown of Hubli, India. The combination of heart for impact and ability to get things done is powerful. I spent the day touring some of the Deshpande Foundation's many programs, all of which are working to raise the quality of life for Indians outside of the "Tier 1" cities - a big challenge and which, as we discussed, has overlap with efforts in Ghana. Lovely to end the day visiting one of the schools they're working in and interacting with the youth there! Thanks to Nevan Clancy Hanumara, PhD Rakshit Kalyani Ayush Angadi P N NAYAK Anand Bariya for the tour.
