Pulse by AlphaWire
Welcome to Pulse by AlphaWire, the podcast where science and education meet cutting edge technology and artificial intelligence.
My name is Aldo de Pape and each week I sit down with innovators, thinkers and doers who are working to change our world for the better.
Together, we explore their journeys, uncover the lessons they've learned and take the entrepreneurial pulse that drives them on their path to success.

For this Episode of Pulse I am talking to not one, not two, not three but four different guests from four completely different corners of the world.
And not just any guests - but all absolute hurricanes in the world of Education.
So for this Episode we will take you to:
Qatar speaking to Ramy Abdulzaher who is doing incredible work with Bonocle, a portable, "phygital" (physical + digital) braille platform for the visually impaired.
To Nigeria speaking to Prince Gideon Olanrewaju of AreAI, an organisation that offers AI driven local solutions to improve the state of teaching and learning in Nigeria and further into Africa.
To Armenia, speaking to Vahakn Papazian, Director of Tumo, a free-of-charge educational program that puts teens in charge of their own learning.
And last but not least to Chile, speaking to Anna Raad of the Reimagina Foundation, a collaborative initiative in 7 countries in Latin America that collectively improves the state of education through a variety of programs - one of which is called Aprendo Labs.
All were in the running for the prestigious WISE Prize for Education - a prestigious international award recognizing individuals or organizations making significant, systemic impacts in global education.
Sincerely hope you’ll enjoy these 4 interviews.
