Our Vision
Democratize science and technology education across Africa using smartphones and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Our Story
In 2017, while running the 4th edition of our annual innovation bootcamp, Project iSWEST, in Ghana, we noticed from our pre-survey that out of our 27 students, 25% had laptops, yet 100% had smartphones. This situation led us to modify our coding course and deliver it using smartphones, a first of its kind in Ghana. Our students built pong games on their phones with several students working on coding assignments while in traffic.
Realizing the potential of our smartphone-based course, in 2018, we created SuaCode, a smartphone-based online coding program aiming to teach millions across Africa how to code by exploiting the proliferation and untapped capabilities of smartphones. Between 2018 and 2020, we ran 4 pilots of SuaCode that reached 3K learners across 69 countries (42 in Africa). We then used the learnings to build our app, SuaCode with an AI teaching assistant, Kwame in 2021, and then launched it in 2022 to scale the impact of SuaCode!
