Today, we're excited to officially introduce TechUp — our flagship education program designed to transform how Nigerian secondary school students learn digital skills.

The Problem We're Solving

Traditional computer education in Nigerian schools often stops at basic computer awareness. Students learn to use Microsoft Word and Excel, but rarely develop skills that translate to real economic opportunity.

Meanwhile, the digital economy is creating opportunities that require practical skills — web development, digital design, AI literacy, and more.

What TechUp Offers

TechUp is a structured, six-year program for students from JSS1 to SS3. Unlike traditional computer studies, TechUp focuses on practical, industry-relevant skills:

  • Web development fundamentals
  • Digital design and creativity
  • AI-assisted productivity
  • Digital entrepreneurship
  • Portfolio development

For Schools

We partner with schools to deliver the program through their existing infrastructure, with teacher training and ongoing support. Schools become talent incubation spaces, producing graduates ready for the digital economy.

Get Involved

We're currently piloting TechUp with select partner schools. If you're a school administrator, government official, or potential sponsor interested in bringing TechUp to your community, we'd love to hear from you.
