ACTE was founded by , Gabon's first winner of former President Omar Bongo’s country-wide scholarship competition in 1997. He later went on to earn a BS in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science from MIT in 2002, and an Ed.M from Harvard’s School of Education in 2004. While at MIT, Yoan’s work on a virtual learning application (NKOMA) won the school’s Arnold Nylander Award for Best Advanced Undergraduate Project in EECS. NKOMA is heavily used as a ‘virtual science lab’ and ‘audiovisual lab’ within ACTE's education activities. (en)
