Employable software engineering, taught through live projects
We teach on open tools that run on modest hardware, and we work keyboard first, so accessibility is built in from day one and learners design software everyone can use.
Founded through workshops in Nigeria and now launching with a first cohort in rural Greece, we widen access to digital skills in low resource settings.
Learners ship working software from week one.
Our method is professional practice, taught to industry standard.
From week one, learners build software in a team and ship it together.
One team, one real product, shipped.
How we teachIn real projects, they use test driven development, pairing and real time web development.
TDD without mocks, pairing, continuous integration.

Ekolite on GitHubEvery project does two things at once, because the learning and the impact are one.
A developer
with employable skills that last
A community
with software it keeps and runs
And in the places that need it most, that is how opportunity takes root. The skills and the software stay where they are scarce, and a community comes away more able to build its own future.

Our home and story pages felt like one story stretched across two screens. Rather than argue about it by taste, we modelled our own words as data, asked a small database one question, and let it show us exactly what we were repeating.
We are moving our content out of a cloud CMS and into git. Here is why a school that teaches a keyboard first, code first way of working should practise it in the open, and the path we are taking to get there.
