Computer coding program for African high school students, delivered in-person on weekends and supplemented by an offline mobile app. Top students are connected with local tech employers.
The Problem
The African education system provides little digital skills training, creating a tech talent deficit as local demand explodes.
The Opportunity
Local tech companies struggle to recruit junior developers; Africa's youth (60% of population) is eager for digital training.
The Concept
3-month weekend courses (HTML/CSS/Python) in partner high schools, with an offline app for evening exercises and a final hackathon.
The "Secret Sauce" (USP)
- Courses in French and local languages
- Offline app: courses accessible without WiFi
- Job pipeline: startup and web agency partnerships
Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
To get started quickly:1 cohort of 30 high schoolers in 1 school for 3 months, courses delivered by 2 volunteer developers, with content on USB key.
