Africa's home for young techies. We teach kids across Kenya to imagine, build, break, and refine real technology.

About Us

Where kids learn to
build the digital world.

Teckid Kenya started in [YEAR] when our founder asked why kids in Nairobi weren't learning to build the apps they spent hours using. The answer was that nobody was teaching them in a way that fit how they actually think. So we built it.

1-on-1 Classes

One student, one instructor.

Project-Based

Every class ships a project.

Flexible

Classes scheduled around your child's availability.

Gamified

Learning through play.

How We Teach

The Teckid Kenya Way

The Loop

Imagine → Refine

and back to the start

1 Imagine
2 Build
3 Break
4 Refine
Pillar One

Imagine

Every project starts with a "what if". We sit with the idea, ask what's possible, and let your child take ownership of where it goes. No assignments, no templates. The idea is theirs. The build will be too.

Pillar Two

Build

Hands on the keys. We make the thing. It might be small, it might be rough, but it's real. Each session ends with something your child can show off, even if there's still more to do.

Pillar Three

Break

Code breaks. We expect it. Bugs aren't failures, they're clues. When something doesn't work, we sit with it together and figure out why. The "why" is where the learning lives.

Pillar Four

Refine

Once it works, we make it better. Cleaner code, smarter logic, more polished design. This is where good projects become projects worth sharing, and where good coders become great ones.

Our Story

Why We Built Teckid Kenya

Before Teckid Kenya, we spent years working in international schools outside Africa. In those classrooms, technology wasn't a special subject or a Friday afternoon club. It was part of how kids learned, every day. Eight-year-olds debugged scripts. Eleven-year-olds built websites for class projects. Coding wasn't a hobby. It was as ordinary as reading.

Then we looked back at our own. Across Africa, the kids were just as bright, just as curious, just as connected. But the relationship to technology was inverted. Phones were for TikTok. Laptops were for games. The brilliant children around us had become some of the most fluent consumers of technology on the planet, and almost none of them were creators of it.

In the next ten to fifteen years, how big will the gap be between the African child and the European, American, or Asian child?

The math is hard to look away from. In most of Africa, real technology education only begins at the university level. That gives the average Kenyan child twelve years, all of primary and all of secondary school, where their counterparts elsewhere are already building, breaking, and shipping. Twelve years where the gap doesn't pause to wait for us. In a field where twelve years can mean four full technological generations.

That's why we built Teckid Kenya. Coding is where we focus, because it's the most direct path from being a consumer of technology to being a creator of it. From primary school, one student at a time, at their own pace, in their own home. The way it works in those international schools we came from. The way it should have worked here all along.

What A Typical Class Looks Like

5 min
Recap & Questions

Instructor checks in, reviews last week's project, and surfaces what your child got curious about between classes. This is where the next thing they'll build starts to take shape.

15 min
Instructor Illustration

Instructor walks through the concept of the day with a working example. Your child sees how it's done before they're asked to do it themselves.

30 min
Building The Project

The core of the session. Your child writes their own version of the project, with the instructor coaching in real time. Mistakes are part of it.

10 min
Debug & Test

Run the project, find what breaks, fix it. Iterate until it works the way they meant it to. This is where the real learning happens. Instructors don't fix it for them, they coach them through.

For Parents

What You Get When Your Child Joins

Six things included with every Teckid enrollment.

Monthly Progress Reports

Every month, you get a written performance report covering what your child built, where they got stuck, and what's coming next.

WhatsApp Class Reminders

We send class reminders on WhatsApp before every session, so nobody forgets. Not the kids, not you.

AI Performance Coach

Our AI reviews your child's performance every month, compares it with previous months, and recommends what to focus on to keep them improving.

Pause Without Worry

Pause your child's classes for one to two weeks at a time when life gets in the way. Vacations, holidays, exam season. Their progress is saved, and they pick up where they left off.

Parents Are Part Of The Journey

Add a second parent, a grandparent, or another trusted guardian to a student account. Everyone sees the same progress, schedule, and reports.

Project Portfolio

Every project your child builds is saved. They can come back to old work, share it with family, or use it later as part of a high-school application.

Our Values

The Principles We Won't Compromise On

Curiosity Over Compliance

If your child wants to make a calculator that says "hi mom," we let them. The curriculum bends. Compliance kills curiosity.

Build, Don't Just Watch

Every class ends with something your child built. No videos to watch. No quizzes to pass. The project is the lesson.

Patience Is Pedagogy

When a kid's code breaks, we don't fix it for them. We sit with the frustration until they fix it themselves. That's where the learning lives.

Parents In The Loop

Sit in on any class. Read every progress report. See every project. We don't believe in black boxes.
