“Education doesn’t need to be reformed it needs to be transformed” -Ken Robinson

A quote I first heard during my internship abroad at Elewa, a company striving to offer quality education at all schools in Kenya even those from less fortunate areas. Working in collaboration with schools in Kenya was truly an eye-opening experience for me. Technology can be used to improve education for everyone everywhere, and better education gives everyone a more equal chance for a better future.

This is why I have been working on open source tools and resources in the domain of Computing Education Research, feel free to check them out and star them if you like them!
