Hello,

My full name is Athina Kardiakou. I was born in Athens, Greece, where i was raised and studied. Before coming here, I was working towards a BSc degree in Informatics & Telecommunications. Alongside my main studies, I also completed the Pedagogical and Teaching Competence program that my university offered, which ultimately got me involved in education!

In an educational setting, I've worked mostly as an Editor for K-12 Computing & ICT books,but also as a Robotics & Coding Tutor and very briefly as a Game Design and Coding Remote Tutor for primary students. 

After my graduation I had the time to reflect on my academic journey and realize that I was lacking important knowledge and insight around Learning Sciences and Educational Technology, since it had not been my main field of study until then.

Upon researching for Master's programs abroad in my new field of interest, the Learning, Education and Technology (LET) program was the only one that I could really see myself fitting in, as a student with a diverse scientific background.
