The Story Behind warren park Innovation Hub

The Warren Park Innovation Hub was one of the three Innovation Hubs we built in Zimbabwe in 2021. A majority of the financial support to build these Innovation Hubs were a part of a grant we won from the Australian Embassy in 2021.

Unlike all of our other projects, we didn’t build this Hub from scratch. Instead, we found an old container that had been worked on and then abandoned. After paying the owner for the container, we got to work cleaning it up and transforming it into a beautiful workspace!

We are delighted to have figured out a model that allows us to rapidly build and deploy these solar powered workspaces around Zimbabwe. Each one means hundreds of unemployed young adults training for the technology workforce and 1,000s of children learning how to code.

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 week, we welcomed officers from the Zimbabwe Republic Police's Victim Friendly Unit to our Innovation Hub for a comprehensive safeguarding workshop with our bootcamp students.

At Uncommon, the safety and well-being of our students and the communities we serve are paramount. This collaborative session gave our students invaluable insights into legal frameworks and best practices for safeguarding vulnerable individuals.

The workshop covered critical topics including:

🔹 Understanding child protection laws in Zimbabwe

🔹 Recognizing signs of abuse or distress

🔹 Proper reporting procedures

🔹 Creating safe learning environments

🔹 Professional boundaries when working with young people

As our students serve as instructors and role models for thousands of youth in our after-school coding program, equipping them with these essential safeguarding skills ensures we maintain the highest standards of protection across all our programs.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the ZRP Victim Friendly Unit for their expertise and dedication to community education. These partnerships strengthen our ability to provide not just quality technology education, but also safe and supportive learning environments for all.
