Oggetto: [OSGeo-Discuss] STEM education using Open Principles

Over the first week of January 2017, a group of 60 secondary school students gathered at Marian University College, Bagamoyo for a ground-breaking training session - the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Youth Boot Camp organised by Projekt Inspire in collaboration with the Ramani Huria team. These students, hailing from different regions of Tanzania (Dar es Salaam, Moshi, Arusha, Mbeya, to name a few), were there to be introduced to GIS and web mapping. More details at

Great work and good example of Open education principles in action. I hope they will share these ideas at FOSS4G Africa and other educators globally

Nikos - please add this to the next newsletter.
