About this listen

What happens when a science teacher walks into a lab that’s completely empty—but still refuses to let students be left behind?

In this compelling episode of Class Dismissed with Dr. K, we meet Sikoliwe Mhizha, a trailblazing STEM educator in rural Zimbabwe. From improvising lab tools to mentoring girls facing cultural and economic barriers, she’s proof that innovation and impact don’t require perfect conditions—just purpose.

Class dismissed—until next time, let’s keep the conversation going!
