Last week I had the honour of being invited back to ASA to talk to this year’s cohort. As I am neither a teacher or a scientist, I have been keen to interact with the students informally and to use their own experiences (as well as my own) to find areas where we could relate to each other and hopefully, where I could find points of motivation for them.
African Science Academy
The ASA has been set up by its founder, Tom Ilube who I met in January 2017. I had heard about the great work Tom has been doing in the education sector in Africa and wanted to learn from him. By sheer coincidence, Tom’s first Academy (ASA) has also been set up in Ghana – the country of focus for the CamBotsio Foundation.
