All of us at iNERDE are thankful that our friends, colleagues, students, and supporters are safe following the tragic events in Bamako last week. Our thoughts are with the people of Mali, and we join them in their period of national mourning. We believe educating and empowering the next generation of African youth is the way for a better tomorrow, and stand stronger than ever in our resolve to inspire children through STEM.
Let's work together for a bright future in Mali and in Africa.
Updates from the iNERDE Team
During our Q3 Summit in Boston this past September, we met to brainstorm and go over all the lessons we learned this summer, with the goal of improving ourselves and planning for an even greater 2016. Since then, we've been working hard on exciting new projects and partnerships, and we can't wait to share more news with you in the weeks and months to come.
We'll also be participating at the Salon de l'Enfance de Bamako (SEBA) in December, where we will speak at a special panel on STEM education.
Additions to the Team!
Aminatta will be working on Programs and Event Planning. She has extensive experience in data analysis and public health, and is excited to be doing work that matters to people with results she can directly experience.
Seydou first joined us this summer at our CV STEM in Mali, and is now our Liaison Officer in Bamako. He's our guy when it comes to finding new partners, meeting with supporters, and spreading the word about iNERDE.

"I realized today what the thing is I miss the most from my time in Africa. When I wanted to show the kids something, I would tell them to come around me, close. They would crowd around me, in a compact group, eager to get as close as possible, to see everything. That is what I miss the most."
Michael reminisces about the warmth of the Malian people in his blog post, Très Serré. Read more on the Nerdy Blog: http://inerde.org/archives/2058
