WISE On Air

Featuring Susan Mtana of Kenya-based Kidogo, Tyler Samstag of Pittsburgh-based Remake Learning, and Janhvi Kanoria of Qatar-based Education Above All. In today's rapidly changing world, the traditional model of education is being challenged like never before. New technologies, changing social and economic conditions, and a multitude of other factors are reshaping the way we learn and teach. With these changes come novel initiatives and solutions that are tackling pressing challenges of learning in unconventional ways. But what sets a great solution apart and leads to real impact? What can we learn from those who have succeeded where others struggled? In this two-part episode, we'll be speaking with six innovators behind the 2022 WISE Awards winning projects to learn what it takes to make a great idea a reality and delve deeper into some of the things they wish they knew when they set out to change education. Together with Susan Mtana, Tyler Samstag, and Janhvi Kanoria, we discussed topics including: - The 'eureka' moment when creating their projects - Balancing important stakeholders from beneficiaries to partnerships - Key challenges they faced and how they overcame them - And key lessons for other innovators looking to make change in the education space.
