Africa
Vision
CyberSmart! Africa began in 2007 as a personal initiative of Jim Teicher, CEO and cofounder of CyberSmart! Education. After visiting Ecole Sinthiou Mbadane 1, a rural school in Senegal off the electric grid, Jim worked to establish ties that would support the students.
The result of his personal involvement and vision is the CyberSmart! Sustainable 21st Century Learning Initiative.
Watch a video filmed and narrated by Jim about the vision propelling us forward.
Digital learning for every school
CyberSmart! Africa's work supports the development of 21st century skills that make learning less abstract, encourage collaboration and creativity, and foster communication across cultures. All these skills are needed for life and work today, regardless of the school setting or the content that is delivered.
Everyone benefits from digital learning, and the poorest schools (even without electricity) may benefit most.
