Hankem Youmbi

I am a teacher and educational project coordinator with more than 10 years of professional experience across three African countries: Cameroon, Togo, and Senegal. My career has been built at the intersection of education, digital innovation, and capacity building, always driven by the conviction that technology and pedagogy must work hand in hand to empower learners and communities.

Currently, I teach Mathematics, Digital Sciences and Technology, Computer Science (NSI), and Engineering Sciences at the École Française Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in Saint-Louis, Senegal, an AEFE-accredited institution of the French Ministry of Education. Alongside my teaching duties, I coordinate a FabLab, where I lead interdisciplinary projects combining robotics, programming, design thinking, and digital fabrication. This role enables me to foster innovation, problem-solving, and creativity among students, while ensuring inclusion and digital literacy for all.

In the past, I have also served as Pedagogical and Digital Coordinator, Project Manager, and Guidance Counselor, roles that gave me a strong background in educational leadership, teacher training, and student orientation. These experiences allowed me to design and implement training modules, supervise digital transition projects, and support young learners in shaping their academic and professional pathways.

Holding a Master’s degree in Education Sciences (MEEF – ACREDITE, France), an Engineering degree in Intelligent Systems, a STEM diploma, and an MBA in Operational Management, I combine technical expertise with advanced knowledge in educational sciences. I am also certified in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Digital Pedagogy, with a particular interest in the ethical and inclusive use of digital technologies in education.

Today, I am eager to contribute my expertise to projects that strengthen educational systems, digital transformation, and sustainable development in Africa and beyond. My professional goal is to pursue a PhD on digital and educational systems, with a focus on the transformative potential of emerging technologies in teaching and learning.
