- What was your experience growing up, and how did you get involved with STEM? What path did you take to enter your field?
- Botswana and Zimbabwe are landlocked countries… how has their geography impacted its development and ideas of national space programs? Is there cooperation or competition? What does the average Botswana or Zimbabwe citizen think of space and space-based technology?
- What do you believe the most significant challenge for Southern Africans is regarding development and user adoption of space technology?
- What will farmers get out of having the “precise data” promised by spectral imagery?
- Tell us what’s involved in your role as Space for Women Ambassador to Botswana
- If you had the resources to do what you pleased concerning a space education and technology development program for Southern Africa, what would you concentrate your effort upon?
