Andy Dean reflects on how his 2009 Fellowship in Kenya continues to shape his approach to teaching seventeen years later. Working alongside Kenyan teachers and communities, he learned the importance of inclusive, hands-on education, recognising local expertise, and creating opportunities that last. He shares how these lessons have influenced his career and inspired STEM by the Sea, a learning workshop on the Yorkshire coast making practical STEM education more accessible to children and families.
