Pun founded the Nepal Wireless Networking Project in 2002 to build a local communication network using wireless technology to connect people in the Himalayan communities.
When Covid-19 pandemic hit Nepal, Mahabir Pun started to self-produce needed medical equipment such as masks and Personal Protective equipment at NIC without relying on imported goods and then distributed them to many hospitals free of charge to help the medical workers.
Born in 1955, Mahabir Pun (Nepali: महावीर पुन) is a Nepali scientist, teacher, social entrepreneur and an activist known for his extensive work in applying wireless technologies to develop remote areas of the Himalayas, also known as the Nepal Wireless Networking Project. He is a widely known figure in Nepal, and his work has been recognized by the Ashoka Foundation, the Ramon Magsaysay Foundation, the University of Nebraska, and Global Ideas Bank. In 2014 Pun was awarded the Jonathan B. Postel Service Award by the Internet Society.

When students enter school, they don’t leave part of themselves at the door. Instead, students walk into class carrying their cultural and community values with them. They bring pressures ofsocial expectationsand continue to feel the influence of poverty, prejudice, and inequity. These out-of-school influences and environmental factors play significant roles in adolescents’ mindsets about learning, their motivation to learn, and their behaviors in schools.

Recent findings from neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychological research provide a more in–depth understanding of why school culture matters for each student and why it especially is important for adolescent students to learn in environments that are safe, supportive, and culturally responsive.
In this webinar, panelists will explore how educators and school leaders can use a more comprehensive understanding of student learning environments to improve educational outcomes for diverse populations.
Specifically, panelists will discuss
why culture and identity matter in adolescent education;
how stress affectslearning and development;
how technology influences student learning and relationship building; and
how school leaders and educators help combat the effects of inequality, bias, and discrimination.
The webinar will also review findings from All4Ed’s third report on the science of adolescent learning,Valuing Culture, Experiences, and Environments, which includes recommendations for how educators, policymakers, and advocates can support adolescents’ academic, social, emotional, physical, and health needs.
