The Project

As the world keeps changing at the same pace of technological progress, our team became more aware of the need to educate the youth with skills and knowledge so they can use technological tools, channels, and solutions to trace their futures. With Coding Africa, we want to build a channel based on a creative approach that can encourage kids and teens in Africa to explore tech-related fields.

We want to show them that there are many possibilities in technology and provide the necessary resources to explore this world as professionals powerful enough to change their environments and upgrade the narrative of their lives.

Coding Africa is an initiative developed by Kampay and its partners that aims to empower young people in Africa to find opportunities in technology and ensure they are prepared for the adoption of Web3, blockchain and cryptocurrency to better their lives and change the world.

_{And by implementing a “Learn to Earn” concept, we will enable students to invest in their abilities and make the most out of their education.}
‍

The Platform

Our learning platform is based on a Learn-to-Earn framework that allows students to unlock new levels and rewards as they keep progressing with their classes. This design was carefully thought out to encourage students to keep investing their time in their learning and encourage them to dedicate themselves to classes. The Learn-to-Earn functionality is still in the Beta stage as we ensure the safety, security and usability.

Our methodologies are based on storytelling and gaming strategies to create a fun and interactive learning process. Coding Africa’s lessons open access to tech-related information and offer the opportunity to understand the fundamentals of programming, which can positively impact and empower kids with more and better options for their future.

Impact

With regards to the future and expansion of our work on the ground, now that we have the experience of the first event, we are looking to replicate it as soon as possible, firstly focusing on additional events in Ghana and once established we will be expanding to other countries in Africa. We currently have contact with Schools in Uganda, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Kenya, South Africa and Zambia. Once we garner the next level of sponsorship we will be also be looking to build computer labs for our partner schools that will include computers, desks, chairs, internet connection and a supplying a trained teacher.
