Kenya's tech ecosystem has no shortage of ambition — what it often lacks is structured, practical pathways from curiosity to competence. Our coding bootcamps close that gap. Rather than long, theory-heavy courses, we run intensive, project-based programmes that take beginners and intermediate learners through web development, mobile app development, and core software engineering practice, with every cohort building real, portfolio-ready projects rather than isolated exercises.
Alongside the bootcamps, we design and run hackathons and innovation challenges for corporates, universities, and community partners — with prize pools of up to KSh 50,000 — that give participants a compressed, high-pressure environment to solve real business or social problems in teams. These events double as talent pipelines: sponsoring organisations get early visibility into some of the sharpest emerging developers in the region, and participants get a credible portfolio piece and, often, their first real professional network.
What's Included
- Structured bootcamp curriculum covering web development, mobile app development, or software engineering fundamentals, tailored to the cohort's starting level
- Hands-on, project-based learning — every participant leaves with real, working projects for their portfolio
- Experienced instructors and teaching assistants providing direct mentorship throughout the programme
- End-to-end hackathon design and delivery: theme setting, judging criteria, mentor coordination, and logistics
- Prize pool structuring and sponsor coordination for hackathons (pools of up to KSh 50,000)
- Certificates of completion for bootcamp graduates
- Post-programme guidance on job readiness, portfolio presentation, and next learning steps
Our Process
Who This Is For
- Aspiring developers with little to no prior coding experience looking for a structured entry point
- Intermediate self-taught developers who need mentorship and project discipline to level up
- Universities and training institutions wanting a ready-made bootcamp or hackathon programme
