our communities

We transform recycled shipping containers into state of the art, solar powered Innovation Hubs to run our free technology Bootcamps directly in the communities we serve.

investing in community

We believe strongly in working at the community level to make longterm, grassroots and sustainable change.

Our goal is not to extract talent, but to create environments where everyone can thrive.

environment matters

Our goal is to create awe-inspiring learning environments where our students and young adults are encouraged to wonder, create & thrive.

You shouldn't have to go to Silicon Valley to get a world class technology experience, you should be able to just walk down the street.

our newest innovation hub

Our Innovation Hub in Victoria Falls is being built in honor of Vincent Bohlen.

Uncommon stories start with people like you.

As we step into 2026, we're filled with gratitude for every student who dared to dream bigger, every teacher who embraced new ways of learning, and every partner who believed in our mission to make Zimbabwe the tech-capital of Africa.

Last year, we watched young people from Mbare to Victoria Falls transform their lives through code. Kids in rural schools built their first games. Teachers discovered they could bring technology into their classrooms.

This year, we're dreaming even bigger. More Innovation Hubs opening their doors. More young adults landing their first tech jobs. More children discovering that they too can create, not just consume, technology.

But most importantly, we're excited about the stories yet to be written, the student who will build Zimbabwe's next big app, the child in Gwayi who will fall in love with technology, the teacher who will inspire a generation of tech innovators.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. Together we're transforming communities, one line of code at a time.

Here's to a year of new possibilities!

Happy New Year!
