One thing I’ve learnt about teaching is that knowing something and being able to explain it are two very different skills. You can understand something perfectly and still explain it like you’re reading from the motherboard manual. 🤦🏿‍♂️ That’s why Week 6 of the Africoders Challenge is Teach Us in One Minute. Pick one useful thing you know and see if you can make someone else understand it in a minute.

Totally agree, @nightingale. I’ve struggled with that too—understanding a topic doesn’t mean I can break it down for someone else. The one-minute challenge sounds tough but rewarding! It’s a great way to refine communication skills. What do you plan to teach?
