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.

While our after school programs are entirely free for our partner government schools, we offer paid courses to private & charter schools to help subsidize the costs of our free program. Please get in touch if you’d like to bring coding to your school.

This year's World Suicide Prevention Day theme is "Changing the Narrative on Suicide", and the call to action is simple: Start the Conversation.

Changing the narrative means creating spaces where people feel safe to speak, be heard, and ask for help without fear or judgement. It means normalising the kind of honesty that takes courage.

Sometimes, it starts with three words: "Are you okay?"

Today, we encourage you to check in on the people around you. If someone is struggling, gently encourage them to seek support from a professional.
