D. Elder and Nathan Crook Facilitate Digital Connectivity in Ghana

Expanding upon what they learned over 15 years of study abroad in Ghana, West Africa, Dr. Elder and Dr. Crook are engaged in a Digital Connectivity project in 12 schools with a combined enrollment of over 4000 students. The project provides computers, video and audio projectors, and high-speed internet access to encourage independent, project-based learning (PBL). After two years of planning and fundraising by their NGO Ghana Beyond Subsistence (GBS), all twelve JHS and Primary schools have functioning computer labs where students and teachers engage in research and discovery-based education.
