In August 2024, the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) organised a workshop in Kenya, bringing together participants from various countries to explore the use of open-source tools like STACK and WebWork in mathematics education. Santiago and David reflect on how the event facilitated meaningful collaborations between African and international educators, offering insights into the unique challenges and opportunities within low-resource environments. The workshop highlighted the importance of layered ownership of educational resources and the potential for cross-contextual learning, with participants from high-resource settings gaining valuable perspectives from their African counterparts.
