To empower every individual, regardless of background, to have the opportunity to harness the power of technology
to innovate, solve problems, and unlock their full potential.
Our mission
To empower children and youth, by providing equitable access to technology and fostering digital literacy.

<h1>About</h1>
<h2>We work in Kibera, a vast slum in Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi, currently the largest unplanned settlement in
the world.</h2>
<h1>Our Work</h1>
<h2>We teach the fundamentals of programming. Through our innovative programs, we create an energizing learning
environment where students can easily build, program, and modify robots to perform real-world tasks. <br> <br>These
hands-on experiences not only build excitement for STEM careers but also empower students to solve problems
within their own communities, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
<br> <br>
We are adopting Raspberry Pi computers as cheap entry-level computers, which we will teach the children to
assemble themselves. Running on Linux Operating System gives us an opportunity to access free learning and
programming software.
