Malombe, the founder of AHA Kits — which are waterproof, solar-powered, server-in-a-box solutions that operate offline. These kits provide access to high-quality digital learning content to learners in low connectivity environments, free of charge — describes his experience of the EdTech Evidence for Entrepreneurs Course as a wake-up call. Emphasising the importance of embracing the process and utilising evidence to mitigate failure, Malombe’s reflections showcase how the course has supported him and his team in incorporating evidence into their product design process. After the course, Malombe now prioritises tasks confidently, knowing that utilising methods he has learnt through the course allows an iterative approach, building on previous learnings.
Over the last three years, the course has brought entrepreneurs together from across Africa, providing opportunities for entrepreneurs to engage with various topics; from the science of teaching and learning to theory of change, product design, systems thinking, and sustainability.
