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.
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.
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.
The Mbare Innovation Hub is our 7th Hub in Zimbabwe and our
first multi-container structure!
Are you in Zimbabwe and want to see our programs in person? Our Innovation Hubs are open Monday - Friday, 8am - 4pm all year long. Feel free to stop by anytime to see what the students are learning. Just remember, most of our Hubs are on school campuses, so, please check in with the school upon arrival and follow all protocols. If you’d like to plan a visit in advance, please email hello@uncommon.org.
