Coding Classes

Turning curiosity into capability, one line of code at a time.

Coding Classes deliver hands-on digital skills training to young people in schools and community spaces across Kenya. From writing first lines of code to building real projects, students develop problem-solving skills, technical confidence and the foundations for a future in a connected economy.

Why it matters

Digital skills are the new literacy.

In a world where technology shapes every industry, young people without digital skills are at a growing disadvantage. Our Coding Classes close that gap — giving students in underserved communities the same technical foundation that opens doors to higher education, careers and entrepreneurship.

  • Practical, project-based learning
  • Strong focus on girls in tech
  • Real tools: HTML, Python, Scratch and more
  • Progression from beginner to builder

Where it runs

In labs and classrooms across four counties.

Coding Classes run in dedicated labs and adapted classroom spaces in these counties. We are always ready to set up a new lab.

Tech for Change

60students trained in 10 days

Sixty students. Ten days. Five Busia schools — many without a computer lab. By the final session, every participant had built and published their first webpage. The devices were left with the schools.
