EdTech School Visits in Rwanda

Visiting two schools that will be participating in our initial release of the offline learning device, helped to give a sense of the conditions that the project will serve in Rwanda.

RISE TO SHINE SCHOOL

At Rise to Shine School, Beatrice (the school proprietor) shared with us about the ways that Edify has helped her school. She described how a few months ago our Education Specialist for Rwanda, Robert Sande, visited her school and asked if she was interested in getting started with education technology. She expressed that they didn't have the space in the school for a computer lab yet so he asked if a mobile lab might work.

With help from our EdTech Integration Officer, Innocent Karuranga, she identified a vendor for laptops in the area and hired a student's parent to fabricate a metal case that could store the laptops and roll to individual classrooms where they would be used for learning. The students proudly shared with us what they are starting to learn with the integration of EdTech into their learning and Beatrice shared that she believes the new device will help to take their learning to another level.

C.S.K CENTRE SCOLAIRE DE KABEZA

The second school we visited, C.S.K., showed us their plans to expand the campus to include high school students. They have made an investment into education technology for their students that they are planning to expand as well. We enjoyed experiencing a computer lab tim in which students learned about how to use spreadsheets.

We are privileged to work with schools like Rise to Shine and C.S.K and to witness the way that they equip the next generation with strong academics, a spiritual foundation and the opportunity to learn technology skills that will help to enhance their learning and prepare them for the workplace of the future!
