Heather Beem, Founder and CEO of Practical Education Network (PEN)
Heather Beem is an MIT Graduate and Founder as well as CEO of Practical Education Network (PEN).
"The Practical Education Network (PEN) improves learning outcomes by building teacher capacity. The teacher training program PEN provides is infused with MIT-style, learning-by-doing to enable hands-on science regardless of resource constraints. PEN offers a series of workshops where West African STEM teachers learn, design, and share hands-on activities that complement the national curriculum and are created from low-cost and locally available materials." (Per the website).
In this episode, Heather shares her learning experience at MIT that spurred her to start PEN, the operations at PEN, doing business in Ghana, and more. She also shared her interest to collaborate especially with the recent paradigm shift of education to an online hybrid format (as the COVID pandemic crisis subsides).
You can reach out to Heather on LinkedIn to connect or partner with her organization, PEN.
This episode is worth watching, and it was such a pleasure to have you, Heather. I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.
