I would recommend posting on the GOSH Forum, with the caveat that most people there are focused on instrumentation for scientific research but there are more general open source hardware & STEAM education folks as well and a lot of the AfricaOSH crowd (who have a major overlap with Global Innovation Gathering who I think Open Source Ecology have worked with before). I'll send your blog post link to the AfricaOSH WhatsApp group.
