Short bio or reason for joining Actionable Innovations Global:

I'm a co-founder of LumenEd, a social venture that connects classrooms in developing countries to digital educational resources and gives them a platform to share their knowledge and stories with the rest of the world. Through the Bright Orange Box, a solar-powered multimedia device that combines a projector, a computer, and speakers, we provide educational resources to classrooms without access to internet or electricity. We work with individual teachers to ensure that our library of open-source content is seamlessly integrated into existing lesson plans. Finally, through the LumenEd Video Pen-Pal Program, we facilitate video conversations between communities around the world. Students enjoy lasting relationships with their Pen Pals, becoming more motivated in the classroom and better thinkers outside it.
