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.

Imagine signing up for a 12-month bootcamp and landing a paid internship halfway through? That's uncommon, but we are incredibly proud to announce that one of our students from the Kambuzuma hub has done just that! Gabriel Kuudzadombo started a paid internship as a graphic designer, and we couldn't be happier for him.

One of the most important parts of our bootcamp is our career development training. We cover CV writing, job search strategies, workplace etiquette, professionalism, and how to add immediate value to organisations.

Our goal is to develop job-ready graduates, and this approach is already paying off, with students securing positions well before completing the program.

Talent gets you started. Skill keeps you moving. We invest in both.
