Stephen Ahura, a teacher from Kenya High School, shared his experiences with integrating EdTech in teaching, discussing both successes and challenges. Fridah Ngari, the co-founder and COO of Ntemata, delved into the design process of EdTech tools, emphasizing alignment with the needs of Kenyan teachers.
